I actually like the angle and perspective here...has an almost surreal image quality, GL authorm the dof is also very nice

guy looks really tired.. great shot. gl

did you show him the pic?? GL

hahaha! that's funny!

Good theme match! GL!

nice one. might play with cropping some so it isn't so centered... maybe take off from the right up to the road

I don't know kyricom...i kinda like this one centered...nicely done author

probably not good that it shows where this photo came from

why not?...............a lot of shots are taken in the authors home town or area. we cannot all just get on a plane or bus to go shooting each time a contest comes up. and, personally, I do not like the idea of just going into a stock of pics and selecting one for a contest, I go out and shoot fresh pics for each contest I enter, it is more challenging that way.

Ok... I think I am confused here... what do you mean that it should not show where the photo is from??? So, this means no one can take pictures of famous monuments, or of regional architecture???

yeah, bout that....before my picture had a watermark, later I had it removed...I hope tht solves the bits of controversy

I would crop quite a bit off the bottom, to where the huts and fence start.

I didnt wanna crop the bottom, as I wanted the balance of sky and land, thats y I left it like that

O.K., it was just my opinion.

What does it matter where it was shot at? k5683, your comment made no sense whatsoever. It doesn't give the author's ID. Author I think it a great entry but honestly you should straiten the horizon just a little and this image would be a perfect entry. High res would be nice too.

Agrees w/ jawshoewhah...straighten the horizion and it's a spot-on great entry...good work author

thnx for the comments, really appreciate advice...

wud have been gr8 if it was more clear

Try to capture the beauty of the eyes and focus on facial expressions.

That doesn't look like a person to me.
