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. Has an
odriew feel about it - the coloration, the artsy person in the environment motif. I like it very much.
2. It's contrived - I mean that in a good way - I like how this is constructed, not accidental - the scene only exists because of you, you aren't a (near) passive reporter of the world.
3. It took me a while to realise they were jumping, I enjoyed the 'aha' moment.
4. I like how the stratified sweater mirror the stratification of colours in the sky behind.
5. The held foliage certainly works and does add interest. I did wonder whether it takes it over the edge a little - but in the end I didn't care.
Overall: A well crafted image that I have enjoyed and certainly the sort of image I'd like to see more often here at DPC.
