Amazing sense of scale! And cold. Seems rather cold.

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. 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. Superb perspective
2. Great use of monochrome when the colour might have tempted many.
3. The sense of scale given by the inclusion of the people. Without them this photo would have been unexceptional.
4. The great depth of field - really works for this.
5. The well-balanced toning, making excellent use of the wide dynamic range.

Great stuff.

I've often wondered what one of these dogs looked like from the inside looking out.
Now I know. And Biscuit gives the appearance of bliss that is just delightful.
