Wonderful tonal range and contrast throughout the entire image. Exposed perfectly to get the texture in the foreground. There's a bit of an optical illusion at about 5:30 that initially looked like a drop on the lens. It's obviously a motion-blurred bit, but it would bug me if I had this hanging on my wall. And it's at that caliber. Fantastic photo.

I'm from the center of Italy, my region is Abruzzo that a couple of years ago has been "famous" because of the earthquake that destroyed our most historical town, L'Aquila (G8 took place there). But Abruzzo is also the "green region" of Europe, with high and wonderful mountains and 200 kms of beaches over the Adriatic Sea. Have you ever been to Italy? ^_^
