Just a Castaway

Wonderful. Two thumbs up and a standing O.

I have to agree with everyone. Lots of zen going on in this shot.

my first thought is longing. To me it almost seems like the black spot is reaching for its same color in the heavens above. Not necessarily isolation, but a feeling out of place, almost homesickness.

OOOh - yeah! I can see that! Thanks for supplying that view!

Frederico, in my opinion, a really good image can supply the inspiration for many different storylines. This qualifies. As did the last one (you know, the one with the pier ).

For it to be lonely, it should not be centered, but off to the side. And for the feeling of oppression, you would need to have that brilliant band of light at the horizon to be gone, because it "shields" the rock from the brooding sky.

I'm not sure I understand why the rock should not be centred to convey isolation, but I fully agree about the brilliant band of light (the sun setting). Time to sharpen up my Photoshop abilities

Thanks all for your nice comments and 'likes'!
