Thank you all for the comments. It is a bit overwhelming, but I appreciate them all the same. I am amused by the comparisons to pastry. Never been to Mallorca Rob, but the pastry sure does sound divine. On other sites the comparison is usually to parts of the human body, like some dune shots resemble the human body. I have to agree that the mist helps make the shot better than it otherwise would be. I have a BW version and it is quite surreal. As to the parts not being as good as the whole, that is inescapable- one shot is bound to be better than the others; and as is often observed, one tends to go with what drew them to the scene in the first place.
Here are two more shots taken over the years for comparison. They are from slides. I love the mottled winter shot and the resemblance to an elephant back in the second shot, which by the way, is the nickname of the place.
