Colorful character on a grey day

The sky is a bit over processed (too much contrast and/or clarity), but the rest is really great.

This image chose me, I think. The harmonious colors, the complete abstractness of the piece, all drew me in and held me spellbound.
First the placement. This could be an aerial shot or it could be the closest of macros. After spending some time trying to decide which it was, it suddenly just didn't matter. I was drawn in by the strong blue shape; was it a grove of trees or the print of a horseshoe? Or something else. Whatever it was, here were nature's patterns writ large (or small). The pronounced blue shape worked well with the greens and tans and other milder blue areas. This is a restful yet inquisitive piece. I could spend hours enjoying the patterns textures and objects contained within this image. Were those patterns tributaries of a giant delta or were they tiny ripples at the edge of a stream, or maybe a sea.
The artist found and photographed a most interesting and pleasing subject. It was my pleasure to appreciate it closely.

I was very curious of the location of this. The proximity of the houses from the ocean frightened me. Now I understand the exoticism.
