This past weekend, I shot a number of images of birds people, etc.. at a local park but the two images below really depict the mood that I was looking for: Solitude!
In the image below, I saw this guy fishing (seee below) and thought it might be more intriguing to show the quiet solitude of the sport in this manner rather than a typical portrait. So I took a picture of his reflection in the water! Even though this was taken very close to nightfall, the image rendered fairly well.

In the next shot (below), the sight of a lone duck on a pond that is almost monochrome, conveys a similar quiet, secluded mood as the first -- especially when they are both viewed together.

So, give it a try. Pick a theme and start shooting!
