Photography: A man alone - A competition by @derangedvisions 📷

I will never forget this moment, while editting this picture I was listening to the automated playlists by Spotify. I'd love to do that and here it was... My Spotify throws out this Frank Sinatra song called A man alone. Goosebumps all over 😍
I knew at once, that this image had to be edited in Black and White. I used it to create as one of my three cover choices for my book of Iceland. Didn't make it to my book, but it's shining at the cover for a friend his book.

The song is from the album with the same title as this song. During the year he created this album, Frank was searching for himself. Frank was struggling with the fact he was getting old. The album is a lesser known album by Sinatra, where the lyrics are written by Rod Mckuen.

In me you see a man alone
Held by the habit of being on his own
A man who listens to the trembling of the trees
With sentimentals ease

In me you see a man alone
Behind the wall he's learned to call his home
A man who still goes walking in the rain
Expecting love again.

A man not lonely Except when the dark comes on
A man learning to live with Memories of midnights That fell apart at dawn

In me you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
Only other people's dreams.

A man learning to live with Memories of midnights That fell apart at dawn

In me you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
Just other people's dreams.

The picture for the contest

Will join the contest again at amateur level.
@derangedvisions thanks for creating this wonderful contest. I'm happy to participate again, although being a judge was great fun to. Keep up the good work! 😀👍

Amazing shot - one to print and show off on an empty wall. I love desolate landscapes, but one tiny human to show off scale is what makes it incredible.

I know what you mean, but the particular person is the opposite of tiny. He's a real giant compared to most of us, which makes the contrast to the surroundings even more incredible.

The photo is great, but that song.....that might just be the winner right there ;)

Hehe I think you're right the picture didn't win! 🤣
Frank has a lot of great songs

Love the symmetry in the water; the sharp contrast also reflects how cold the weather must have felt
