No kidding about the diaginals and their impact! You've got diaginals every which way, even in the clouds, and it packs quite a punch! Excellent lesson PJ! And an excellent shot!

Hey PJ,
Most unusual look, very beautiful,
Diagonals (an example of leading lines and where to put them) are one key to a wonderful photograph such as this one,
I have one suggestion, crop out the bottom part, so that the grass in front is cut off, then compare the two, I prefer to leave it out, what do you think,

Thanks for sharing
Warm regards
