Sorry to be slow. Blame COVID and senility. A wonderful set of pictures, and – unusually for these competitions – all on topic.
Highly commended, although I did not recognise the significance of the title at first:


And this one too, because it looks such an attractive place to be alone in:


Third place to the Blue Chair picture. Just the lighting!


Second place to the black-and-white Little Girl picture which so effectively conjures up a rather unhappy story:


First place to the Monk picture which I found myself liking more every time I looked at it:

Great topic and so many super entries - very honoured to get a HC. Congrats to the winners.

So many good photos, thanks for choosing my lonely monk! It was winter time, so not many visitors to his ancient church. I will come up with a contest topic ASAP!
