Love photograph, Kees. There were many lovely landscapes but this stood out for me for the relative restraint you show in post. It's tempting to ratchet the processing up to 10 on a shot like this and that's where many lose me. Nicely done. In my top 5 and it deserved a higher finish.

My top shot of the challenge, and not just because it's great to see Johnny. Was wondering if it was yours but I knew this couldn't be Chicago so I was waiting to see whose it was. Only question I have is whether the placement of your reflection behind his eye was purposeful at the time or a stroke of luck? ;)

Wonderful photograph. I can tell because even after staring at it for a long time the spots where the builders (purposefully?) deviated from symmetry didn't bother my OCD. Well deserved ribbon. Congratulations.

(posting on both shots and not voting)
Absolutely lovely photo, but after seeing this already in a challenge and seeing another nearly identical photo in this one I'm very much inclined to vote lower than I would had this been the first time I was seeing the shot. With that said, I much prefer the "30+ Second" image to either of these.

Lovely capture. I just wish you'd pulled out some of the shadow detail a bit as all the darks seem to run together - particularly the eye. 7 that I would have gone higher on otherwise.
