I like the vivid colors. The image appears to be very soft, my guess is some camera motion. Also, this belongs in Man and Nature. I'm sure one of the moderators will move it.

Fascinating impressionistic image here, Eve. Overall I quite like the effect. I'm not so sure about the teal background though, it clashes with the rest of the colors in my opinion. Because of the prominent presence of 'man' I moved this to the man and nature gallery, hope you understand.

Eva,
I like the color here and the "window" effect works well for the composition here. The "aura" you speak of is hard to figure out, but again quite effective in the composition. I agree that this is a bit blurry, but that also gives this a bit of an artsy presentation as well.
I will go ahead and move this to the Man & Nature gallery after posting my comments. Hopefully for obvious reasons. If you have any questions feel free to drop one of us a note.
Thanks for sharing. And if you get the opportunity I would encourage you to post some comments on other members work here in the galleries. Thanks!
Lon

Really interesting lighting, Eva. I think that aura is just stirred up dust Just funning you. Glad my year in Texas was last year. This does have a nice mist feel to it.
Regards,
Carol

Very impressionistic and unique looking. It reminds me of the orton effect. Wherever that look comes from - it looks very interesting.
