Many thanks guys. You both make good points. I think I was too focused on the graphic nature... and almost viewed it more as an abstract.

This is one of those images that lacks context for the viewer. We all have shots like this, where we know the story around it, behind it, and we see things in it that the viewer does not.

I love everything about this, the light, the silhouette, the chance meeting and long for those days myself. I'd have cloned out the one power line.

This is a really nice image and I love the grain. I think it would be better without the borders. Just my opinion. 7

My mistake was definitely the sand coloring. I noticed that the first day of voting. I really loved it otherwise.

From this, I'd say you lean toward the graphic artist kind of photographer, who likes strong from and shape in your work.

Comment by bassbone:
The image seems like the focal point is missing - the dead end itself. I see the lines leading to the dead end, but as currently composed, we don't see that we don't have a way out. Maybe composing it so that the dead end is actually visible so that the lines overwhelm us and make us feel trapped would have made this score better.

looking at the challenge entries, those images that worked best actually showed the viewer where the dead end was located. In your shot, it is merely implied.

The sand looks a little over-processed for my tastes, but I like the position and poses of the people.
