Great focus. Wish the jacket were not in the shot. ;)

Comment by P-A-U-L:
Thanks everyone for the comments and votes. I suspect there is probably some dirt on my lens as I have never cleaned them - the reason being I have never really looked into how to clean them and therefore feel safer not touching them. I do have a UV filter on each of my lenses to protect the actual lens so the actual lens should be fine - which is pointless if I have grubby filters:)

I am seeing some spots in the clouds, looks like maybe your lens had some dried water spots? (I don't thinks it's my monitor??). Otherwise, nice photo with a "lonely" feel. Meets the challenge well.

Very nice shot. Like the close up of the ballon. The purple on purple works well.

Lovely setting and nice tones and does say "alone in a vast world". IMO, less sky or less beach would give a better perspective. Nice none-the-less.

just a "tad" on the soft side for the focusing...not by much

I like the composition and the slight angle off vertical.

Yes it was indeed forks - the title must have given it away.

I wish I had spent a bit more time on this idea as it was just a quick last minute idea I had whilst shooting another idea. Would have been so much nicer if I had lined them up properly and sorted the lighting.

Anyway pleased with the result so thank you for all the lovely votes. And no 1,2 or 3 votes - very pleased about that.
