This reminds me of the painter Frances Bacon maybe more than Ben but I'm giving it a 7 for its special soul bearing sentiment even if not intended.

Contrats and well deserved. The first 10 ever from me for a masterful mix of context, content and execution without studio lights.

Three consecutive ribbons - must be some sort of a record. I helped - well sort of - and anyway didn't hurt. Beautiful shot of a favorite place but it's a couple thousand miles from home.

In my experience it is quite rare to capture the grandeur of such a scene but you've done it. The trees help the scale but I think it's the light and well managed processing to let it glow, so to speak, that makes it work. The long exposure and misty air add an atmospheric perspective that clinches it. Nearly a perfect 10.
