Comment by Paul:
This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Despite the portable device, it feels old fashioned, like a step back in time.
2. I really enjoy the high contrast.
3. I like the absence of true verticals - I normally hate such skewness, but here it contributes to authenticity.
4. The ambiguity of the context - some for of gathering, but we are left guessing.
5. The clarity of the girl, standing out from the slight blurring of the rest of the scene.

An image full of human interest.
