I love the dramatic clouds. HDR processing? The composition works very well, as the house draws you in as a center point after your gaze wanders through the sky.

Fantastic sky! I am having a bit of trouble getting the connection of the image to the concept of "perseverance". The image itself might work a tad better if the barn weren't placed so dead centre.

The Pinedo image immediately came to mind when I saw this entry, and I googled it to see how close they were. At first I was a tad annoyed at such blatant "copying", but then I did a reality check and said to myself, "Hey Ward, we DPCers copy EACH OTHER all the time, in the spirit of learning "how they did that", so why not do the same with an outside-DPC image?"

And you did it very well indeed, and I am delighted to see you crediting Pinedo in your notes. This is just the way it ought to be.

The Pinedo image has much more subtle modeling on the umbrellas, and I prefer that, but regardless this is a compelling image; congrats on your top-20!
