Absolutely beautiful shot and a great motion capture. I like the nice, simple silhouette and the composition is excellent. Really great job.

Thanks guys. I really didn't expect it to be higher, this isn't a photo that is likely to be voted very high in average here on dpc. I think you have to take a good look at it and then its strength will grow on you and you will then learn to appreciate it more. A quick look, as it is often when voting in the challenges, doesn't work for this image. I knew that when I submitted it and that it didn't get a higher avg vote was expected. As I mentioned in the photographer's comment here above, when I submitted the photo, I was just interested in people's opinions. I'm just glad it ended above 5.

At least all of the comments were positive, many thanks for all your comments.

I'm really disappointed that this shot didn't fare any better in this challenge. The rich color tones are so nice, especially how they change abruptly at the gate line. This is not a typical pretty photo, but it has so many excellent qualities, as I mentioned below, that I hope you're really happy with it despite its score.

Congratulation on your +6 score, close enough to the top.
I thought you would do better with this photo.

I really like this photo not only because it's a beautiful picture that works perfectly for this challenge, but also because it conveys a message and an emotion. Very nice job.
