This is one of my 10s - 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. The technical quality of the image - its crispness and clarity is perfect - that's just a starter though.
2. This image transports me - it make me feel that I've stepped through a time portal and this is where I have ended up. It has an uncommon level of realism.
3. Part of that is down to the coloration - it's so naturalistic; you have the saturation and contrast profiles absolutely perfect.
4. The angle and POV adds much interest , it's clearly a wide shot but avoids any distortion - again, the perspective, DOF and feel are like a camera lens has not mediated the scene. It's eerie.
5. I really like the eclectic subject matter too - so matter of fact, casual but precise.
Overall, this is masterful - I don't know how you've done it but you hit the sweet spot in my brain perfectly. I love it.
