I'm surprised that this hasn't generated any comments so far. It's a good take on the theme, well composed. At first I wondered if it was a little dark, but on second look it has a feeling of impending nightfall about it. Nice entry.

Thanks for the comments you two. I felt kind of bad that no one had commented on it too, but hey, it is a "forgotten' theme, so maybe it is better that way...

It is dark, hopefully imparting a mood or tone to the viewer that implies that the towel is indeed forgotten. Clearly the weather is not beach-towel weather. Had it been bright and sunny then instead of "left behind" it would have been called "dropped."

I have no issues with setup photos, but this poor lonely towel was indeed found dropped right were it was shot, about a half hour later, the hotel staff had picked it up where it no doubt was laundered and joined his comrades for a day by the beach or pool. Glad you enjoyed the humor Caley, unless I am making a political statement with a photo, I do enjoy a moment of levity.

Peace my photo brothers.

Wonderful photo Paul.

It truly conveys the topic of "Forgotten" and needs no words to tell the story.

This is a great shot. I really do think this is the one shot this week that really conveys the idea of 'forgotten'. My one hesitation would be that I think it's a tad under-exposed, but that doesn't, for me, detract anything from the great composition.

Wonderful capture. Real sense of forgotten and lost. Great mood in the light.

Thanks guys for the comments. I was a funny find on my early morning walk given the contest subject. Hope to NOT find anything on my morning walks with the "pain" topic...
