Good shooting, Bill. Let's face it, without the hand it'd just be a picture of scrubby Brush.

Brilliant!

Someone's just been on a fortune-telling workshop!

Excellent 

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

I've got to HAND it to you, Bill. It beats all my attempts at RSL-ian landscapes.

Subtle Bill..very subtle

[stamper]

Bill how did they manage to bury you with just your hand showing? I take it you used a remote release. 

[popnfresh]

I've been waiting for someone to do this. This is, hands down, the best landscape EVER!

[RSL]

Told 'ya.

You can buy the print for eleventy thousand pounds

I'd gladly pay, but only if it is one and only copy, so that I would never again have to see another hand of man in a landscape

Ah, Slobodan, that's not the true Christmas spirit; you are advocating Armageddon!

Have a great day -

That's okay, Slobodan, if we leave out the hand there are other body parts that'll substitute quite as well. Just ask Rob.

Topic for a new thread? "The _________ of man in the landscape."

[RSL]

Or woman.

[Rob C]

Well, I don't know about which parts may or may not qualify as substitutes for the 'hand of man' - perhaps we're just as well settling for the hand?

I've finally discovered how to get mobile (cellphone, to you Transatlanticians) images into the computer: RTFM was the answer - a free download from Samsung. So, I enclose a shot taken some weeks ago of the front line at Puerto Pollensa, when the tourist season was well and truly over. Its relevant - sort of - because there are hands of neither men nor women visible, and it was exactly the same today! Sunny, but damned cold.

Shame there doesn't seem to be a way to control exposure, but perhaps that means RTFM again... 5mp camera shooting jpegs. Hmmm.
