Good light and sharpness ...
To give this a better balance I would suggest a pano crop triming from top up to the end of the blue sky. :mrgreen:

Hi,

I would second KK's suggestion. As it is cropped now, I find it an awkward balance; I would prefer it tighter or wider. the deatil is pretty great, tho.
4 down, 2 to go.

Blue sky is slightly distracting, but I would not change a thing. Perfect light and great details! Tack sharp!

gigo, great shot. I agree with the crop suggestions. I have a shot so similar to this it seems we were standing in the same place.
