p.1 #1 · #370 Empty seat


November and seaside mean empty benches and empty seas, not much traffic out there any more (we're supposed to get snow tonight, too)

Edit: I took another shot of the same scene after we got some snow.
Edit 2: Reverted back to the original

Hi Ruuskan...

A pretty empty vista, but it looks like a very peaceful place to be nonetheless. Nice capture!

Thanks
Tom

Ruuskin... I preferred the first..the fog/mist over the water really made the shot. Now the snow seems overpowering to me at least.

I haven't seen the original but I do feel as if this one is a bit lacking. Nothing in the pic really connects to the empty seat, at least not IMHO.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Hi Jouko,

I like both shots, but like the others I preferred the previous shot. Both are nicely composed, but the mist/fog really captured a nice lonely mood.

Best wishes,

Steve S.

I didn't see the first shot but you have clearly communicated the feeling of empty with your shot.
Well done,
Tom

Thanks for the comments, all... I reverted back to the original image, after comparing them side by side

I meant that the scene is not empty (trees, islands etc.). Thus, the empty seat as no "match". And yes, I know the emphasis here is on the empty seat but I just feel it is not enough in this case. My PoV only of course.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Now I got it, thanks Yakim!
I know that I'm the only one who knows this (and that's why I consider the scene empty), but normally it's very rare to see this area with no activity at all... boats, kayakers, birds, people etc. But I get your point, I should have been there one hour later, the fog was getting thicker and probably covered everything
