I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: I'm glad I've come back to this - I must've been grumpy when i first looked at it. Now, I find it vibrant and uplifting. I love the light - you capture its warmth and as such it makes me want to take a deep breath and enjoy the moment and the sun. The most significant word in the last sentence is 'moment': you have me convinced that everything would look different (and diminished) a moment later or a moment before you took the shot. The textures are lovely too, but all is secondary compared to the light.
Critical stuff: Not too much - I wonder about the sky and whether you need it. I crop with my hand and think I prefer the image but that isn't much of an issue at all. Those who don't 'find' the light might offer a drive-by vote and I fear the number of people who stick around long enough to bask may be few...
Overall: An image that does a good job of creeping up on you and then ambushing with its goodness! |
