OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: I really like this image, it puts a smile on my face - I can almost feel the sun on my back! I don't mind admitting that I looked at this as a remote observer wondering what the figure was holding before I realised it was the camera! Doh! However, it works even better as a self-portrait.

Critical stuff: The border - I fear for you - this might be a rule-breaker for the addition of a new image area; I hope it doesn't get flagged up or if it does that it is judged to be OK.

Overall: A simple but happy-making image!
