  Something here about a solitary moment in the midst of others in relationship to one another. The fog really adds to the ambience as well. This is one to come back to again and again!

  Very intriguing picture. I love the unusual lighting, the spot in the sky, the people with their backs turned to the lone subject...there is a lot going on here. Great storytelling image.

  Rakesh,

Unusual and interesting. I like the title, the couple looking forward while the man is looking inward. I like the curves of the ground and I love the intriguing light. The focus is entirely on your subjects. A lovely piece of art that I could see hanging in a gallery (or an introspective art lover's home).

Best,
Rachel

  This reminds me of the philosophical children's classic The Little Prince. This image gives the illusion that the three of them are all alone on a far away planet! The mystical air and lighting just adds to it all. Was the older man aware of your camera? What an EXTRAORDINARY image!

  Nicely done Rakesh. I like the use of negative space that is needed to help focus on the subjects. Had you cropped off the upper portion with the sun this photo would not have the same effect as it does. Great statement made through photography. Awesome job.
