Great capture! The "stealing" of the cap "makes" the picture so much more interesting! Although, the scenery is already nice. Good focus on the man. I voted this a "10"

Great capture of the moment! The closer one on the right looks mad. Well done.

Iceland's marine fuel oil reservoir complex? This is a visually striking photograph. I hope, for the sake of the architect, that this particular view of the building does not show it to its best advantage. If this IS its good side, then all I can say is the lighting is quite nice. 6.

Well, just come over for a visit :)
Re: the pattern. I just noticed it in postproduction when reviewing images. This was a long exposure and the NL are everchanging, so this was just pure luck.
One of my plans for next few days is to go over my recent NL shoots and try to find a nice sequence which illustrates the "everchangingness" of the NL and how they "migrate" across the sky.
Keep an eye on my portfolio.

ps:
lots more NL at my smugmug place

Great Photo, shame that it did so poor in the voting.
I don't think that there are many better ways to put the concept of an actual Phoenix (as a bird) into a photograph without excessive PS. Nice capture. When you shoot the NL, can you see this kind of patterns with your own eyes or does it only materialize after a long exposure?
I have never seen the NL you see. :(
