mitalapoComment by Paul: This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)
Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.
This is one of my 8s - I like it. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:
1. Great use of the foreground foliage to add depth to the image.
2. So much to look at, the foreground children and guardian, the lone gull, the surfing gulls top left and the oddly positioned figure.
3. The lack of a horizon.
4. The sense of calmness of the water.
5. The sparkling light.
6. The warm evening feeling.
Lovely stuff.
