I like it. The foreground area has the feeling of being heavily blotted out by an eraser. The eraser of time? Of memory? Different. Totally captivating. A ten for you.
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. The gloomy light and complementary blur and glow really go together to offer up a very particular mood.
2. The greenish brown tones are perfectly matched to the scene.
3. Despite the gloom, there is great light here.
4. The intriguing foreground block of shadow - like a dark apparition or a malevolent artefact appearing in the photographs of a 1970s horror movie.
