This was the first image that came in my randomly assorted list for voting. It was a nice way to open the voting. Instant 10 from me. Far and away my favourite.
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: What a great sky (especially that cloud just above the sea on the left) and the moving figures are marvellous too. I really like the highlights on the sea beyond the figures.
Critical stuff: I do like the vignette but I think it could be a tad darker, also this is one of those images that I think would look even better with a little added grain.
Killer shot. Progression of time through footsteps and transitions and the persistence of the world around us. Wonderful tones, awesome sky. Great stuff.
