Taken with a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 at maximum Aperture to emphasize a small depth of field. Not sure how this will go with the voters as there is not much of a focal point

Really, I thought this was good and would place higher, even with a tenuous connection to the challenge. Walking is exactly what people do by the river and I have no doubt the blue in the background is your river. It's a cool picture, regardless of the challenge.
I realize that I took a chance with this entry in that it doesn't obviously meet the challenge. I was down by the river taking some test shots with a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 and I quite liked this shot. I haven't participated in a challenge for a while so thought I'd drop a picture in for a change... I have some interesting takes on 'framed' but I don't think I want another sub-5 score so maybe I'll pass :-)
watch this space for some more mainstream entries soon... LOL
I think I would have aimed the focus at the top of the grass and let the rest blur out. Right now your focus is on the base of the stocks and isn't so interesting. Sorry.
An absolutely beautiful shot. I only wish that the river, stream, etc. was obvious in the shot. I assume that the figures in the background are walking by the river, or this grass is growing there, but I can't know for sure.
I love the pretty bokehed background, but something seems a little off to me, I think I'd preferred it if there were only one person, or if the two figures weren't so symmetrical. but then again, to each their own.
