OK, I went back and looked at it again since I respect your eye, color
sense, and judgment. On second viewing my opinion remains the same.
To me it's like any one of thousands of slightly underexposed sunset
shots one might grab while walking along the beach. Those pleasant
feelings and peaceful moments make us want to take a picture. And
this photo will make a nice memory for the photographer and, perhaps,
his or her companion. But what we have here is something akin to
photographing an emotion, preserving a memory and a moment. That's
all fine and good, and a valid reason for taking the picture. But on
a purely photographic level it doesn't cut it for me. I want more from
a photograph, and Paul is capable of giving us more.
