As the artist is immersed in his work, we're immersed in the scene, even to feeling the chill in the air. Also, is he painting a picture of the sunrise or is he, via his canvas, actually painting the sunrise onto a blank canvas of sky? That's my question. Intriguing image.
This doesn't scream ROT to me with the painter off to the side like that. If the painter was standing on a vertical ROT gridline I think I'd like it better for this challenge. But it's a pretty scene.
I think this has te makings of a great photo the painter at his easel is clearly defined but his subject has melted into one big blob with only a suggestion that it is a boat 5
