Lonely

Lonely

The single background against the gloomy sky I felt actually accentuted the idea of lonliness of the single blub. However one problem is that the wire the bulb was suspended on is in a diagonal line. Diagonal lines tend to suggest activity and action so might not be too appropriate for this theme.
Perhaps a horizontal line across the pic might work better.

I think somehow this pic with the cable running across in a horizontal manner does indeed look better but my concern now is whether it would look better if the bulb is more towards the right edge of the photo? Somehow I feel that isolating the bulb towards the corner actually accentuates the idea of lonely better. However, placing the bulb in the center of the photo with the vast sky surrounding it also brings out the lonliness of the bulb which is so small in contrast to the sky.
I did another attempt but this time round with a chair.
I deliberate framed this picture in such a way that the chair remains fairly in a corner of the photo and there is light shining in from the other end of the photo. This actually cast a shadow on the chair and further enhances the gloomy, and dull atmosphere surrounding the chair. Through this, I hope to bring across the feeling of lonliness that the chair might be experiencing.
