I did not vote this challenge but would have pegged this for a ribbon. It is much more considered than the long exposure seascapes that dominate the top slots.

The Dust spot was not immediately noticeable... would be annoying on a print but OK for this comp. I might have straightened the cottage as this is a key point of interest, looks like lens distortion has tilted it off vertical.

This is a wonderful capture, the expression is perfect and the antique treatment helps with the emotive theme. Great work should be up there in the ribbons
