How appropriate to incorporate soft warm tones that might be found in classical paintings inside the museum.

So here's another uncommented photo that was among my picks in the "Pick your fav image from the person above you" side challenge several years back. This week I had the realization that "picking a favorite" should include a comment about why. So I'm back over the last 1600+ posts to make amends for my omission. Here's my belated comment:

I grew up at the beach near San Clemente and will always be drawn to the ocean, the shore, and the sea. This photo (and the story you posted about it) is wonderful. Full of spirit and whimsy. And as with your others, it holds up well to time.

Ok... I just realized that almost 6 years ago this was one of my picks in the "Pick your fav image from the person above you" side challenge. This week I had the realization that "picking a favorite" should include a comment about why. So I've gone back over the last 1600+ posts to make amends for my omissions. Here's my belated comment:

First off - DQ or not, it's a wonderful image. I love the mystery and the color palette (I'm going to have to check out the on1 preset - if it's in there recent versions). The composition is also strong - how you did that on a scanner is amazing! Anyway, I remember liking this one immediately. The composite parts are at once intriguingly vague and emotionally present. Wow.

Finally, it holds up well to time. This exercise of mine (returning to view an image after several years) confirms my appreciation of your photo. Sorry it took so long to realize I was missing an important part of this SC!
