Glimpse

for me the framing elevates this considerably. it starts a story without ending it, and it makes the image so much more dynamic. processing certainly has bspurgeon's qualities.

..Surf....Shell....Sailboat

I am not voting, so you can just ignore my comment. I think this is a great photo (toning is marvelous) and a complete miss of the bspurgeon style, as it doesn't leave a lot of room to the viewer own interpretation. This continues with the title, which tries to dictate even the order of looking at things.

Coming back after I noticed Ben's "wave..shell......gull"

I'm still leaving the comment above with the caveat that it (the comment) only reflects my own subjective interpretation of Ben's style, and to show how pigheaded I can be. Hope you can forgive me.

excellent painting. just a thought regarding the title: i would let the viewers guess where this is happening. they might come up with their own ideas. (not voting)

so which is it - the use of the window as filter? tilting the world to fit the person? the charcoal drawing quality? the backlighting? or that it reminds me of ubique's )?
anyhow, this is nonchalantly brilliant. (not voting)
