Comment by Paul:
For me, this doesn't represent the sort of image I'm hoping to enjoy in this challenge. Of course there's nothing technically wrong with the image, but it holds little interest for me. I'm one of those DPC members that likes the blur, the texture, the unusual motif and will often be pursuing the 'posthumous' thread. You'll know yourself that this isn't that sort of image - for which some voters may be very pleased! I'm just not one of them.

For me the 'Art' challenges are about embracing the avant-garde, going beyond (or falling short of) conventional representations, this image doesn't really do that for me; but I do admire the way this has been executed - especially the exposure in difficult light.

I like the way the pastel colors of the sky are in contrast to the vivid colors of the cliffs,water,and house,yet they are in harmony.

This seems to be an HDR image with too much HDR treatment. Spoiled what otherwise could have been a great shot.
