yeah, it does look very enticing to me too. you've won the hearts of the aussies, mc. you've got nifty and me dreamin'.
i like the way the eye is drawn to the blue and the sailboard. but then you register the watchers. and then you see it's winter. and you've used focus to direct the story. wonderful shot.
Well that's not something you see too often here ... we had 42+ degrees C (108 F) here yesterday & I was dreaming of something cooler
This is a great shot that holds your attention for a long while. I like the sharp focus of the people in the foreground and the texture of the ice. Initially I wanted to see more of the sail, but this angle is better as it makes him look stuck in the spot and adds to the story.
