even without hiding the strings, there is something miraculous about her levitation, or at least surprising. Surprise is a great virtue in photography.

A beautiful spot but what an angle to build the cottage on! We are getting the same dour light here now.

Comment by Germaine:
I love the round valley bottom and the way it frames the mountain in the distance. Lovely cloud shadows.

this shot makes me miss Clive (where is that bastard?) I like how impossible it is to judge the distance of the water under the bridge

Comment by krnodil:
so much depth to this, amazingly well-composed - alternating light and shadow all the way in

Nicely contained in the square.

Comment by nam:
I love geometry in a landscape - always somehow unexpected and expected at the same time. Lovely the way the foreground triangles overlap, the way the midline dips to cradle that lit mountain in the center, and the way the sky balances the earth.

Oh, helloo. This is a similar valley to one I drive over to the coast on (missing a river). Ordinarily the dark mid section hills would be off putting for me but it makes the light in the far distance even more welcome. You have crammed a lot into this little square.

great natural framing in this square on 3 sides with that fantastic tree

I agree with Nikki, that if it had been possible at the time, to have tried shooting from an angle that placed her head somewhere under or nearer the land horizon, but as I type this I can't think why it would be preferable...although too, the land all sloping in towards her head do make for good leading lines to your central subject.
