This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier).
Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.
This is my only 10 this month - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:
1. What a fantastic POV - eclectic and effective.
2. Brilliant exposure in difficult conditions, excellent shadow detail without compromising the contrast.
3. That eye- captivating yet aloof!
4. The overall composition with the dog looming from the top right corner of the image.
5. That band of cloud, I love the way in transects the image.
Brilliant stuff.
