I love the steam (or maybe smoke? I've never been to a clambake). If it was steam, it looks like you were risking some moisture in your camera to get this shot, I hope it stayed healthy. The effect is very interesting and different. A clam's-eye view, haha.

WOW!! that is an awesome POV!! so glad the smoke was blowing the other way!

Alternatively, the tune "smoke gets in your yes" could be appropriate here too :)

Nice one Robert!

So many perfect elements here, the flashes of light and color, the naturally monotone-ish areas in the lower center/left, the off-kilter horizon, the people "appearing" out of the steam, and all of it fading so perfectly into that patch of blue and cloud at the top-left. Congrats on a great finish for a great shot, I wouldn't change a thing.

Robert...This image looked great as a thumb, I saw it while scanning the entries but didn't stop to do any voting or commenting. The slight touch of red shirt contrasts nicely with the green corn, then the nets full of clams(?) have just enough detail to set the scene off nicely. The steam... perfect, I could go on but I don't want to give you a big head. ;)

It truly shows the searchers, looking for the perfect take home item. Glad you did so well.

Yes, actually :-) I am surprised and pleased it made top 10, though; I did not think this image would be much appreciated. It's certainly the best finish, by far, of any of my OOB entries, and I have made quite a few :-)

Thanx, all, for the kind words.
