When I saw this in my brief review of the entries, I wanted to withdraw mine. Someday you must explain how you got all those sheep down to the beach. And, presumably, back up.
A could stare at this for hours. I'm horrified it didn't finish in the top 10. Just brilliant. Indeed, how did you get the blur on everything but the poles?
Thank you Johanna... your generous comment(s) is more valuable to me than a top 10 finish.
This was taken at 1/30 sec. and panned parallel to the poles. That is why they appear to be sharp.

You've gone a long way toward simplifying this into abstraction, which brings you into the neighborhood of Minimalism. Lovely blur and I love the curved hair-thin lines of the fishing poles.
It is mostly blurry and undetailed, and yet one can grasp the situation and imagine/invent the missing parts. The impact/detail ratio is very high, making it a true minimalistic work. (not voting, but I can sure fave)
This is so good it hurts. Don't know what all those little specks are on the ground, but it sure gets my imagination going. And the sharpness but delicacy of the fishing poles. It's just breathtaking. My favorite of the challenge. I am humbled by your greatness :-)
