Interesting thing about Loneliness... I can't find anyone who can tell me
what someone who is lonely looks like.  We have decided that it is a state
of mind and one of the problems with it is there is no human expression that
reveals that condition to the rest of us.

Comments?

She looks like she's pissed off at the spider a few feet in front of her.

    Agreed. When I saw this rounds topic I instantly had a great idea for an
image[1] - a lonely looking person standing in crowded, fast moving,
street/square/plaza - the idea being one of being lonely in a crowd. But
then I realised that I couldn't put my finger on what a lonely person looks
like - I tried trawling the web for pictures - found sad, depressed and
whole host of other emotional states, but nothing that looked 'lonely'...

round is so near it's end I wouldn't have time to implement them

I think she might be lonely, perhaps if you make camera angle wider - 
Keep the height of the image, but make the image three or four times 
wider and make sure there is no-one else present.

I think emptyness is good way to show loneliness.

Remember that first dog into space, Laika? She was supposed to die there and
so she did!

I wish I had time to enter this round, as I had a great idea for an image...
(I may make it in to an image, but not for the IRTC, as I'll never have time
to do it now)

Loneliness is often more expressed through body posture and eye direction
than it is through facial expression.  She looks a little tense, and
generally lonely people are quite relaxed in their posture.

The image is coming along very well though, you just need to play with the
posture I think.

This line will haunt me rest of the week.
