DMC. Lovely. The gritty PP, lead in lines, dramatic sky thanks B&W, the ROT put this in the Art Class. What is I believe lost on a lot of DPC voters especially in this challenge will be the lack of forethought as to the meaning of Art; eg: The lengthy process some painters had to go through to be able to paint like this, never mind as a photographer to re-create this particular effect. Bumped to 8.

Wonderful compositional triangle! Your bum must be wet as your footprints have been washed away :) There could be more in post processing, perhaps some extra contrast and saturation, however the image as such conveys a perfect photographic rule. 7.

Calming. Art is meant to stir an emotion and touch the soul. It did. Thank you.

Another EFS possibility. An artistic subject I enjoy immensely, deep black tree silhouette and gradated hills in the BG. VWD.

It is certainly artistic, even if I cannot explain it in words.
