A Calm That Washes Over Me
by sjhuls

Comment:
Yes, wonderfully calm. The hypnotic blues, subtly rhythmic, the gold necklace of human habitation stretching along the shoreline and the snow-capped mountains combine simply and effectively. The moon and its reflection, as well as the nicely placed foreground rocks, are fine touches. Beautiful. One of two personal favorites.

Formidably illustrates the title. But, in a pleasing and charming way. The pieces of the composition come together like a jigsaw puzzle. There's a sense of mystery in the walls and vanishing dogleg street. The green of vegetation is a relief. And there are chances of escape -- the bright white door, the street drains, the streets which must continue somewhere and the bird in the distance. One of two personal favorites.

5 Nice detail, but in general it needs a more interesting setting and more tail.

5 Cumbersome composition and haphazard. Perhaps a focus on the central figure once the boat has passed.

5 Maybe I'm shallow but I need a more interesting portrayal of nature. Also, the upper left patch of sky seems to have a few sensor spots.
