Striking pic. It's surreal, almost like a drawing

Comment by KaDi:
This does lack contrast, but NOT interest. It seems to be caught between a B&W and a sepia. I suspect the low-side scores are about that or about its "fitness" for the challenge. Given that you have only 13 votes below a 4, and 16 above a 6, it's not so bad. Perhaps another one worth revisiting. (I know, we get so sick of an image during a challenge that it's hard to see it that way, but the long-view is nice sometimes.)

I like big empty spaces in photos like this. It seems to say, what we make is insignificant, while at the same time forcing us to view the delicateness of what we (humans) make.

Great sky! A bit more drama in the light might have pleased the voters more...

You may be a winner on the most 5-ish thread for those 143 votes, but you've also made a fine image that may be worth revisiting in post-processing sometime.

Great discription of the photo. I think the pink boots is an excellent choice for the challenge. Your take - down on the ground level is really good. Bravo!
