What a wonderful, wonderful image! I really like the deep DoF and shadow. But it’s the way that everyone is facing away from you, giving the perception of a pilgrimage that you are following, that really appeals to me. Lovely!
I love how it all fades into this white mystery. I know it's a pier...but is it? They all walk into the light. The stretchy shadows are also super pleasing.
So much going on here. The centre post and shadow makes it into a natural dipthych, with the story on the left of two cyclists on the pier close by, and on the right, pedestrians in the distance. The high-key sky adds a sense of mystery, wonder, as does the hint of something above the cyclists. A beautiful image all-round.
I like how it looks like there's two paths being taken by the pedestrians - to the left and to the right. That lamp post and it's shadow in the center acts as the dividing point between the paths. Interesting!
