Just came back to your portfolio and ran across this one again... It garnered a 10 from me during the competition - but if I had known you were gonna beat me out for the blue, I'da... Well never mind. J/K HA!
Honestly, this deserves every accolade it has received. Sheer perfection! |

Wowzers. It's hard to describe how sublime this capture truely is... This site is chock full of talent these days and yet you have raised the bar. This is no ordinary winner, it's one of those rarities. Skies like that just don't come along that often. Congrats on a superb image.
If I had one suggestion it would be to lose a chunk of the whitespace towards the bottom. Just enough so that you're left with about 2/3 of what is there now. It is the one suggestion that I honestly feel could improve on this image even more. (Though its hard to argue with a blue :) |
