This looks more like a painting than a photograph and I like it very much indeed. Beautiful.

Lovely shot Mark. If I was being nitpicky, then I'd say a little off the left but beautiful as is! :toast:

Absolutely gorgeous! If anything, the bright area top right could be reduced a little, but is is magical either way.

Lovely lovely natural image. Lots of stuff around it, lots of drama, really evocative. I think the composition is perfectly judged as well. Too often I see shots of this sort and they are just too 'clinical' (if you know what I mean) but this is just great, has buckets of character. Excellent!

Nearly missed this one - what an extraordinary image Mark with a feast of visual appeal :toast:
