I really enjoyed this image, well, I still do! I was reading mitalapo's comment, which is actually quite accurate depending on perspective...it got me thinking...yes, the interpretation is not a story, but, for me, more of an emotional response to a seascape...if a viewer sticks around long enough to feel that emotion, eventually a story well develop even if it has nothing to do with the beach/ocean/etc. Likely more to do with something in their immediate life experience, yeah? I think you mostly hit that mark, which, I hope, is why it did so well...specifically it surrounds the shell. My initial response...why is that there? Does it belong? Ultimately it made me feel a bit lonely and out of place...maybe left behind. If you can evoke a response like that, then I personally feel the photograph is a success. I was too tired to write this out when I commented originally, so you got my clinical comment. :)

I am not voting, so you can just ignore my comment. I think this is a great photo (toning is marvelous) and a complete miss of the bspurgeon style, as it doesn't leave a lot of room to the viewer own interpretation. This continues with the title, which tries to dictate even the order of looking at things.

Coming back after I noticed Ben's "wave..shell......gull"

I'm still leaving the comment above with the caveat that it (the comment) only reflects my own subjective interpretation of Ben's style, and to show how pigheaded I can be. Hope you can forgive me.
