Sorry I didn't get back to this post-challenge. I think the clarity, the purity, of it is outstanding. Got an 8 from me. I'm quite surprised my own entry scored so much better than this; I know which one I'd rather call my own :-)
Del - Awesome shot - I just now got around to spending some time viewing the various entries of friends and colleagues during the FS and MFS. This is outstanding stuff - especially the water in the foreground and sky to provide a great natural border for the image.
What a great location and scene. I really like the light comming through from behind the stilts. The contrasting red and blue work very well and the still water makes for great reflections. However, I dont think you used the reflectios of the water to their potential. I would like to see more of the structure reflected instead of just a little bit of the top. Everything else is great though.
Very nice colors! The scene is certainly perplexing - I'm compelled to want to learn more about the story here, what the building is & why the low water level. Can't just be the tide, that's way too much - makes me think of the Dead Sea... -- 7 --
