The final breath

This would be a ribbon contender in my mind, except for the chair. The chair seems incongruous with the image. Too modern?

Thanks! I was inspired by my last vacation. PEI was so nice. However, not inspired enough to remember to set the clock on the camera. It's really discouraging that an amateur gets dq'd for the time on the camera, while trying to compete with real professionals. And part of the reason I haven't participated here in over a year. I find the comments have gotten much less helpful, from a technical perspective, than they used to be. I would have had a 5.5 on this image, which would have been one of my highest.

Oh well, will set the time and play by the rules next time. I hope DPC finds its way again toward helping people learn and improve their craft.

Please see my comments above. It's too bad the viewer can't see these comments when voting.
Like many on this site, I chose not to take "macro" literally. It's more metaphorical. Glad you like the shot.

Thanks

This one really works for me. The whole composition is compelling. It's abstract, yet literal enough to really play with your eye and imagination.

I'm just not getting the subject here. Image seems a little flat. Underprocessed?
