It's very professional, technically excellent, well-composed with an amazing DOF. It's probably not what you had in mind, but it would make a tremendous magazine or book cover. If I was a picture editor, I would grab it.

Yeah you are right John, I didn't have a magazine cover in mind. Thank you for looking.

One of the best images that has been on the critique for a long time. :) John is spot on. The balance of the elements is perfect and the processing is the same. Well done.

Riaan, As you undoubtedly know, I'm no fan of photographic landscape, since paintings by people like Turner, Constable, Thomas Cole and Albert Bierstadt so far outstrip anything you can do with a camera, but this photograph is quite splendid. Bravo! Good work. You're a good enough photographer that I'm really sorry you don't "get" street photography.

Nice Riaan,

The only negative that I can pick up here, is that it did not come out of my camera. Sweet light. Where was this shot?

Thanks for looking and the kind comments, it is appreciated. The photo was taken just outside of town, behind the golf course Heinz.
