I love this one, it fits perfectly on theme to me. It puts us in the shoes of her husband or family member just staring at her chair, waiting for her to just walk back in and sit down.
My condolences to you and your family, but a lovely shot and long lasting reminder of her.
I agree, the feeling I get is emptiness and loss, not alone. Grieving isn't loneliness unless you grieve alone. And I am sorry for your loss. I lost both of my Grandfathers within months of each other and a couple of days ago I just lost my Great Aunt, whom we are burying soon, so I understand what it's like to look for someone, and realize they aren't there anymore, and you won't get to hug them, kiss them, or laugh with them anymore.

So you assume the grieving isn't alone? You know dem90, this has already been said. Not necessary for you to repeat the same thing only with more words. Boy, you sure do fit right in with some of the bunch here.
Like I said, if you don't feel it fits the theme then feel free to red flag it!

this photo is waay too muddy, yo need to increase contrast or do something so the photo isn't so flat! There is too much dark gray in the photo, and not enough variance in from you darks to lights.

Photo was shot on the north shore of Kauai on a ten mile long hike. This is my brother Amos meditating on a cliff that dropped off about 500 feet. (5 years and 3091 days ago)
What friiskiwi said, but also he doesn't look very lonely to me. By nature, meditation brings about thoughts of peacefulness and tranquility. I would reshoot something that gives a sad feeling rather than a content one.
On the plus side, the photo is awesome and I love the colors in it!

Thanks for the advice! I shot this photo to where the slanted horizon was almost pulling the viewer towards the subject of the photo, which is my brother, I sometimes dislike when photos are completely symmetrical. Also loneliness doesn't always mean sadness. One can be quite content and peaceful when they are in a state of being solitary.
