according to wikipedia, the original title of Manet's "Le déjeuner sur l'herbe" (The Luncheon on the Grass) was "Le Bain" (The Bath). How very fitting.

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 8s - I like it. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Magical light - I like how you haven't pulled back the highlights, it feels as if this is how our eyes would see the scene.

2. Eclectic composition - the inclusion of the trees communicates a sense of 'canopy', connecting us to the scene.

3. The sense of family.

4. The gaze of the primary subject - this creates a good deal of ambiguity in terms of him and his relationship with the photographer (and thus viewer).

Overall, very well made.

I love the light in this image, but it is just too much of a snapshot, with only one person looking at the camera.
