Desert Sunrise

On my first pass through, I yawned at this one and gave it a 5; "another sunset silhouette, next please!"

But upon review, I see a LOT more. I have NO idea how much of this you put in intentionally, and how much of it is just my "read", but it works:

I see, on the left, a father lecturing a child, with upraised arm and pointing finger, hair electric with anger. I see in the center that child, hunched and cowering. I see on the right another child huddling in her mother's embrace as they watch the father dressing down the middle child.

I don't mean any of this in a "domestic violence" way, I'm not getting negative vibes, I just see a prototypical family scene and I am much amused. Anthropomorphic as all get out. Well done. Bump to 8.

Sweet... Brings me back home, it does... Sky's a little cyan/greenish for my taste, but your mileage may vary :-)

This one's actually an outstanding example of the genre, shifting the focus plane along a near-to-far axis to key in two important points...
