I love the contrast of the two colors and the simplicity of the shot, well done.

I feel like I'm viewing a map of some poor town being swallowed by lava. Which is cool...

For this challenge, I wanna be closer though... show me the streets...

Good elements of interest. Love the refraction. Pretty good clarity and sharpness where it counts. I like the composition.

I start at the bottom of this photo and get lost in the reflections of the clouds. I look for patterns and find crabs and butterflies and Florida and hand puppets. Then I slowly follow some of the water streams out to sea.

Then the I'm drawn farther into the image and wonder what the disturbance is in the flow. Are those fish? A log? A crocodile? A body?

Then I follow the water out to sea. And then up the shore, to the people. Are they as relaxed as they should be? Is the air still warm, or are they getting the early evening chill? The gentle surf sounds send the cares away.

What about the houses? Is someone looking out a window, calling to someone to come in? Are they calling to the body? Are they worried? It's not a body though.

Finally the light of the city - is it a bustling city or a quiet small town? Probably a larger city, given the large structure next to the water.

The people in the foreground are lucky to be away from the city sounds - surrounded by the serenity of the sea.

I want to be here.
