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: This is wonderful story telling, and on top of that an image within an image - linked by the narrative of your title. Both work together - the shadow picture and the boat study and to marvellous effect too. The slight overexposure keeps in light too - imbuing the image with a sense of wonder... Go darker and monochrome and the story changes and becomes more ominous. I'm glad you made this choice.
Critical stuff: Nothing at all.
Overall: More story than I might have thought possible in a single picture. Masterfully constructed. |
