I'm so surprised that this one is doing well. I never expected it. I thought it was interesting, but I didn't expect it to get this much attention. Thanks for the wonderful comments!
It actually was just an experiment. My family went up to the pipeline walkway in Richmond. I was watching the great blue herons, my daughter was drawing/writing, and my son and husband were fishing.
My daughter found a spot to sit:
and I wandered the walkway above.
I was getting way too dark for nature photography, so I just tried a couple of shots, cutting off people's heads. I was getting pretty dark, so the original shot actually was a bit grainy, and very flat. I'm in my contrasty b&w phase, so I thought I'd give it a shot with processing, and was surprised and intrigued with the results.
Again -- thanks for the wonderful comments! I love these types of challenges. This is a shot that I never would have taken if it wasn't for DPC. We need more of these exploration challenges!

Congrats on the top ten finish. This was one of my favorites for a ribbon. I liked it for the story I see where the head wasn't necessary, if that makes sense.
I like this one, as the hand and page really tell the story and no need for a head. The white of the page is a little too bright and distracts, but overall a nice concept.
