I was rummaging around, seeing what was accepted for the last rural challenge before I go and try to get something last minute and this popped up. Wow! As usual, and I was not surprised to see your name attached. And then I was brought immediately to Christina's World, which is one of my favorite paintings of all time. And this so reminds me of that, the push and pull between melancholy and hope, that I had to comment. You see, looking back on my own self portraits (most are not here) I am trying to recreate Christina's World. And here you have done that, only it is your world. So cool. And thrown in is a little bit of Turkey Pond, if only because it is a man with a purpose... I love everything about this you know. Excellent image.

good lighting and sharpness. Colors rendered well. You just need to watch your background for dust and lint.

Good action/stop motion shot that could use some post editing. With a little tweak on sharpness, contrast and color, your DPC score would probably be a point higher. I rate on the photograph taken more than the editing in this type of image so...6
