Summer Time - and the living is easy!

This is one of my favorite shots in this challenge. I think it will likely get overlooked. It is a very busy shot, which normally I find distracting, but here I like the contrasts. The ages and skin of the men, the boats and the water. I cant figure out what the curved line is at the top right, but it looks like the edge of the earth. The water bottle almost emptied, the man sleeping, the other shirt off. I think this is the kind of shot that would be in national geographic representing life in ? (the Mediterranean perhaps). As far as criticisms go-- the dark skinned man could have slightly more light while the big jug could have slightly less. None the less my choice for 1st place. You have a great shot and captured something that is very human and 'summer'. Excellent shot.

Beautiful, crisp, clear, sharp, good composition. Technically very well done.

Well you have made an insect (usually yucky creatures IMO) somehow seem 'cute', well done.

This is one of the saddest shots I have seen. And your title is poignant. I think it will likely be overlooked on dpc but it certainly has 'something'. Good find.

A shot where, IMO, softer focus works quite well.

The compostion and textures of this shot really work for me. Only downfall is the one pane of glass is a bit overexposed. Great shot.
