I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Great juxtaposition of the natural and the man-made. I really like the muted colour palette too. Also the sense of coldness is quite pronounced.
Critical stuff: The binoculars look ever so slightly haloed and the blown highlight in the gap in the clouds is a little distracting, mainly because of its proximity to the gull.
Overall: A very enjoyable image which manages to transport the viewer. |
