I really love the stalks reaching towards the viewer and moving. It gives an eery liveliness to the shot that would have been there otherwise.

Looks like a tired dog who would just as soon stop for a drink and a nap, but soldiers on because he wants to stay with his human more than anything. Very Lab-like :-)

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Ben, I know this is yours but I'm not letting that exclude me from commenting or scoring. I love how relaxed this is - it makes me what to take a deep breath; it feels like a warm evening. The blurry ducks are amazing - just enough form to remain coherent. I'm particularly fond of the trees in the background and how they seem to be illuminated. Of course, your daughter is so important. Like a catalyst, I feel she doesn't take an active role in the image but none of it would work if she were absent.

Critical stuff: I'm not sure I like that lighter area below the wall of the left edge of the frame.

Overall: Marvellously understated stuff.
