Right on the mark perfect filling the frame with such a strong in your face foreground!:-) Well done lad! A beauty, clouds and all! :-) Great learning example for people who use wide angle lens and leave the foreground a big mass of nothingness! :-( Wides can throw away so much useable picture space simply because many people who think only in... "wide angle" therefore a wide picture. Or in this case they think,"I better use the wide angle to get it all in." Fair enough, but then so often they end up with great gaping space because they haven't used the complete coverage of the lens and throw away space that could be used creatively as you've illustrated here. Your photography is always good, but then sometimes it's a simple completely "blow the viewers away!" as this does!:-) Like, "Damn yer good!" :-) I opened it and it was automatic.... "SOB great photo right on the mark perfect!" One couldn't help but make a comment more than nice picture. Good on you! Learn something everybody because this is what using a 21mm wide angle lens is all about in using the space the lens gives you to work with! Or any super wide of this nature. Fill the frame or why use a 21? ted
