Just now came across this shot, and I agree with all the above superlatives. I find it to be very engaging as it’s so easy to just sit and get lost in it. You done good!
Thank you. Ironically, I entered it in a local camera club competition. For this competition the scores range from 6-9. Six is reserved for photos that have obvious technical issues. (a rarity in competitions). This photo got a 7 because of the detail in the foreground that did not " contribute anything to the composition". I could see if he had scored it an 8 but not quite a 9. My response to a "7" was simple and very immature: "Bite me!". Of course, we don't actually say anything to judges during the competition; but there was some discussion among club members after the competition. C'est la vie.
