I don't know whether it was intentional, but Onel being an anagram of Lone, alongside the trailing "a" of "sea", helps emphasise what I saw in this image. An incredible sense of space and beauty, with one person alone to observe it. It's a big picture that feels like it's made just for you. First glance reaction: I felt desire. The ambition to find a place as beautiful and make it my own. Prolonged viewing: Loneliness, made me consider what I would be missing if this was all I had.
As far as originality goes, this is where I feel the picture may...lack? The lone observer in a beautiful fantasia of a world has been done before. I say "lack?" because I still like it, but it didn't surprise me as a concept. However, what it does hold unique comes slightly under technique:
The use of water and reflection with natural [or even man-made] light is always a brilliant synergy. The haze effect used in the reflection is slightly unnatural but creates a beautiful effect along the crest of the reflected-mountain range. The planet shown in the background is wonderful. Whilst I do personally love planets shown through an atmosphere (it makes you feel closer to what you can never reach, in space) pictures often over-do it with too many planets, or the focus being purely in the background. This image has a strong focal point on the sun and the boat. The planet being in the background with just the right amount of focus on it.
The picture does lose a lot of intensity when in a smaller resolution, the mountains in the middle stand out slightly too much and the boat may benefit being pushed ever so slightly further down to the left. However, in larger resolution it comes into it's own.
I think this picture caught my eye very well at the start, as I looked at it further it slowly starts to fall away. Generally a beautifully balanced picture as far as the concept goes. Lacks a little bit of long-term depth. I'd be quick to put it as my desktop background, but it probably wouldn't stay there too long.
Thanks for the image and the chance to critique it! Liked this image a lot.
