Totally faked depth of field (I think!). But apart from that, a really nice idea / image.

the guy is Russian. The place looks like French Riviera... why not? I like the vibe of shot. Amazing how comfortable he evidently is on this little bench :)

Thanks, Shutter. As soon as I noticed these gentlemen talking, that's the exact goal I had in mine: putting a positive spin on things! Too much negativity in our day to day, and while there are certainly things to be upset about in the world, you have to count your blessings too...and laugh a little.

Thanks everyone who voted! I think the favorite thing I see about the votes is that no one voted it a 9. I like this, because whoever really loved this image was like 'OH YEAH, 10!" hahaha. I'm proud to be in the top 100.

Haha, I know. It was just so hilarious, the timing of what happened. I said "Do they ever come right up to the boat?" and if someone said "Whales speak English, ya know?" I would believe them a little.
