Interesting that you gave a comment that revealed more than the title. Delight? That's so opposite to what I assumed the title meant (delightfully). I didn't even read the comment part the first time I looked at this and I thought "oh how sad and upsetting... the tears (water droplets) drown in the wake of some extreme sorrow (the ocean) to the point that the person can't even cry anymore, they're just lost in the whole huge mess of it all...." (it just seemed consistent if I was thinking of the water of the droplets as something sad then the water of the ocean would also be representing something sad... "water = sad") and I think it could even be taken that the tears drowned because the person jumped in! Both remarkably depressing interpretations compared with what you intended! How Bizzare. (Don't go thinking that I was depressed when I looked at your picture and was projecting my own mood into it... I was fine, in fact I found it kind of jarring to have such a depressing thought replace the exuberance of your initial title "take you on a cruise.") The only part that seemed incongruous with what I initially thought you meant was the vibrant colours... (I couldn't figure out if they were supposed to be some type of contrast for emphasis or show some kind of disturbed pleasure) -those certainly go much better with a feeling of delight. I'm quite glad that tears drown in the wake of Delight. Hmm... adventures in art interpretation.

well i only put "delight" into the comments section instead of in the title because it wouldn't allow me to have a title that was that long. i really like your first interpretation of the shortened title and picture together. although, like you said, i think the colors would need to be less vibrant for that to fit in.

Wonderful, although i'd wish for the entire front area to be within the DoF.
You have a great eye for details...
