those are stars! ;) I also put extra sharpening on the crud at the bottom of the photo. |
Stars...now it makes sense! |

What I find captivating by this image are the multiple transitions of depth and space. A difficult effect to achieve. Well done Don. Gave it an 8.
ETA: I have a feeling the average DPCer would have cloned out many of the floating white "distractions" (dreaded DPC D word). I readily admit that I may have been that average DPCer if this image were in my hands! However, those distractions contributed to the transitions referenced above. A lesson to be learned by many.

| Like a painting that is beautifully splattered, scraped and brushed. Delicate, cold and captured with a sense of inevitably. |

| So much I admire about this: the shapes, the tones, the 'natural' layer effect, the harmony of the subject elements, the surprising sense of unity of the whole, and most of all your uncommon vision to see it and understand it. Beautiful image and my top pick in the Free Study. A rare pleasure. Thank you. |

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: There are many interesting textures here, but what fascinates is trying to working out how each of the interfaces relate to one another in three dimensions. I suspect we are looking at a object (a sleeper?) that is partially submerged in water; that the water has frozen and now carries some textures (scratches and cracks) of its own. It is difficult to tell though. Your contrast handling and choice of a monochrome presentation ensures that we don't get as much visual information as we might like to work it all out. In that sense the photographic choices you have made have a profound effect on the viewing experience.
I think your choice of aspect ratio works really well and I like how my eye is drawn up to the upper left corner where is meets emptiness and darkness. That seems fitting given the fate of the sleeper. I feel I should comment on the leaf, but it feels irrelevant - I think that is a good thing.
Critical stuff: Not much to say here - perhaps the contrast has made the bottom right corner a bit 'crunchy' for my taste, I much prefer the upper 2/3 of the image.
Overall: A well put together, thoughtful image. |

| Fabulous abstract. Looks like a car wreck submerged at the edge of a lake. |

| I'm not quite sure what this is? It looks like a piece of concrete frozen into a water source..... |
