Thanks for the tip :)

I agree with riot. I think the compostion is perfect and adds to the overall photographic striking quality of this picture. To me, it's the perfect shot, and couldn't be improved on in any way!!! I'm still amazed by it every time I see it!!! I want to try to get a capture like this. It blows me away.

Really? Because that was intentional, and supposed to enhance the drama of the triangle... hmm

The squareness of the frame detracts from the nature (the type) of the subject. With this type of subject, I'd like to see a more rounded composition with depth.

My comment is made not in terms of the challenge goals, but in terms of the general photographic quality of the subject and the manner in which it was presented (composed).
