Solitude

Beautiful comp Von, pour me a glass and I’ll play for you :))

Absolutely charming image…........wonderful concept and treatment.

Well, you did a great job capturing the solitude.

Indeed it does :)) lol

Stunning image…................

beautiful image Von,,,,well done

This is lovely! A very well thought-out still-life :)

Beautiful lighting & a lovely mood set here Mr Von

Oh love this Von

So warm and inviting Mr McKnelly..Absolutely gorgeous..Love it…

I love this Von this would make a fabulous painting , do you paint ?
I love the rustic feel to it , a really nice shot . Go to the top of the class and collect your gold star. :=))

Sure does a wonderful job depicting solitude…it’s so inviting, I’m sure after a few shots I would know how to play that guitar, lol

You are as daft as I am , I couldn’t reply yesterday to your comments about buttons , I was so overwhelmed .with emotion ,:=))

I would really like to have a go at painting this , would you mind ,? I don’t know when, I lead such a busy life ,I don’t know when I will have the time . But I would try and find some time in the near future , I haven’t painted for ages but this picture has inspired me to get the brushesout again .

I am too busy taking pictures , . Is that a yes then ?

While I have enjoyed viewing your many portraits, this image is truely a work of art! Amazing what we find when we aren’t really looking?

Excellent mood and lighting on one of my favorite things in life.

Sorry no can do , not this week anyway ,prior engagements I am afraid maybe next week . Of course you will get the credits it’s your picture , so long as you don’t sue if you don’t like it , I know you Americans you would sue your own granny . :=))

What a beautiful piece of art to fall into your lap! Everyone should be so fortunate! Beautifully composed Von.

A wonderful composition, very inviting. The perfect chair for playing that guitar on.

Hey Von i’m running out of compliments here lol….
a lot to glean from this image…..the lighting, the framing, the clarity, the subject, the atmosphere, the questions..what happened to the lonely one, who broke his heart or does he just enjoy solitude…...all comes together to form a great image!
ps is the plaster work in the background painted onto the wall or is it real?

Von, This is one of my favorites. Wonderful composition. I used to play the guitar as well and that was a time of solitude. It can carry you away from everything. Wow!!! Love this.

Perfection achieved Sir!! This is a beautiful image!!

this is perfect .. a beautiful piece for any wall !

hmmm let me think about that lol aww you are probably too far away from me oh well !

perfect spot for salsa dancing!

Excellent work Sir Von.

Wow…... what a great image… I would love to be there right now….. (tea instead of the crown though) and I would also have to build up my calluses again it’s been so long since I played…... beautiful still life Von!! You done goood!!

Well its always good to “think” outside the box Von w/an open mind..Beautiful, Amazing Treasures to be found right under your nose..

Brilliant !!!! :-)

Excellent piece!

That lighting, textured walls, table, floorboards, everything about this just oozes class and that number 15 has me very intrigued actually. Really lovely work.

I like very much :)

This is just wonderful! I love everything about it =)

Such a great shot Von (no, not the glass). You do so many different things, so very well. And by the way, I think I’ve sat there many times, played that guitar and ,for sure, emptied that bottle! Thanks for the memories….(Andi walks off singing)

whoa…..what a jaw dropper. This is another of your art gallery worthy images. I swear this would be so wonderful in poster format….bigger than life and inviting. I’ll hang around and listen to the guitar solos that come from here – it would be a nice place to soak up the music!!

Perfect composition and execution. Very nice.

Beautiful image Von…just perfect in every way…I love everything about the room..solitude can be such a peaceful space;)

Master Von … the image breathes “solitude” .. masterful.. yet again

in the ideal world. my house would have such a lovely, organic and quiet corner

beauutiful. love that drink over there

Love this one

Hmm- silly me – thought I had already made this a favorite!!! I did now!!! Thanks Von for sharing this one!!! It’s so wonderful…..

Stunning shot, simply beautiful.

Lovely, I like the soft tones and the “15” :) And the bottle ;)

Well composed and taken…beautiful shot!

Hard to fault this….a great composition….beautiful in execution….and lovely to behold.

I really like this one! The drink in the glass says it all. I like to drink in my solitude. LOL : )

Gorgeous image! :D

Great shot and beautiful composition!

Beautiful shot

This is a splendid piece. I love all of the earthy tones and rough feel that is softened by the lighting.

Well done, indeed.

I want to walk into this shot, pick up the guitar and star playing

This kicks butt Von! One look at this says you know what your doing…D.

SPLENDID!!!

Nicely captured. Just like the person playing that guitar just got up and walked away for a few minutes.

Very well done still life photo.

Looks to me like we did tell on me. (my bad) And you made sure others noticed it. LOL I still love this photo!!!

Looks like I’m just one of a long string of admirers on this shot. I love how it draws your eye in from the bottle and table to the guitar to the empty chair. Well done!

Such a beautiful image, wonderful comp

great shot, Crown Royal?

Like a painting.

This is so moody in a charming sort of way.. Love your folio…

it’s a painful image to look at because i want to sit in that seat so badly!! lol. love it mate.

Beautiful image, Von. My playing doesn’t get bette with drinks, it usually gets better when I put on the headphones and can’t hear anymore :)

Just a lovely composition! Everything works perfectly!

so well illustrated concept… and I like the lighting + harmonious colors and warm tones

A place I would never want to leave. Lovely capture.

Beautiful work…..the lighting is fantastic.

Maaaaan. Talk about inviting…
Terrific work here, Von. :) The lighting & shading is perfect.

Oh I LOVE this!

A really beautiful composition!

perfect

Full of ambiance, beautifuly composed and excellent lighting…..

von, this is a great set! If only Segovia had been hanging around….

beautiful photo. If I could take a picture like this, i would create my own original painting world.

I really like this

Wonderful work!

Absolutely gorgeous still life. PRFECTION. NOw, go sit yourself in the chair, and take a self-portrait there – it would suit your handome face!

Sorry bout the misspellings – I am so stunned by your work, my fingers wil not work properly!

Great image.

the colour, the shadowing, the setting…everything just prefect…superb!!! :-)

This is so close to what my dream “Haven” looks like, it’s incredible. Aside from a little repair work on the walls, the only thing I’d change would be the spirits for a bottle of my favourite white. Solitude never looked so desirable. An exquisite “portrait”, Von.

This is a beauty Von….............I love it….............Ive adding this to my favs…........anna ; )

Charming image Von : ) Solitude….it definitely is… well done! Wen x

Superb , love this

Awesome colors. Great Job.You definately captured the solitude

So Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a story board for the viewer, great atmosphere created by the colouring & soft light ( the only thing I’m not sure about is the plant which adds extra unnecessary colour ( for ME better without it ) – great work.

A great scene!

Fantastic shot! All the right elements.

stunning cheers

Looks like a great place to be… wonderful image!

Brilliant. Speaks volumes.

A wonderful atmosphere, well rendered. An awesome picture.

I love the feel and look of this whole composition, so much story telling.

i love it

<3>

Now this is another one that I like very much…what’sin the decanter and glass!

Makes me want to play again, this is beautiful Von….........adore the lighting and perfect composition….........
