I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I saw this in the VB and thought it looked like a beautiful spot. I would have given this beauty higher marks except for a couple of things that bothered me. My Caedes friends, including many of the folks listed above, have always told me to keep the amount of sky to a minimum unless it adds real drama to the shot. Let's face it...that's a pretty plain sky. It also takes up well over half the shot. And I know from first hand experience that a clear blue sky like that has a tendency to show noise, and there is some noise in the sky. Love the colors and the clarity.
