I definitely would have cloned that house away. Strong leading lines to the dark sky. 7

Beautiful and beautifully done. I love the thin ribbon of land between sea and sky, one of my favorite takes in landscapes. Its isolation really nails its distance. Your choice in composition, emphasizing the monumental sky, is perfect, in my opinion. The colors, too, are lovely, a symphony in the key of blue and white. Delicate and strong.
One of three personal favorites.

FS is ok. Nice sky. But I think it�s like a 5.5. Not a ribbon contender, which is where u have been.

this is insect macro at its finest ..
and i'm blown away by your equipment .. the 70-200 .. didnt know you could get as close with that lens .. i know you have cropped tho ..
i'm also loving the way everything works in this .. the depth of field so PERFECT .. all the details on the grasshopper and the leaves in the background like a beautiful soft dreamy backdrop ..
this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL .
