Nice comp and great sky. Editing probably needs a bit more work. I can see a bit of a halo around the person and there seems to be some CA as well.

Such a pity we cant see more of the face. Still a nice image but that would have added a lot to the emotion of the image IMO.
Love the way the lighter areas in the clouds match the shape of the yellow material!

Fantastic! Love the silhouette of the bush/branch in front of the fire - that just makes the image

This happens to be my first image that comes up for voting but just brezzing thru the thumbnails this one looks destined for the front page. Lovely lighting. Comp is top notch. Processing is not over the top and looks very natural. I love how the curves of the hat make the pattern just vanish into the black BG.
Lovely well done

Well done Rian on ANOTHER top 10!
Basic editing probably helped you here so that you weren't tempted to try a HDR blend with a correctly exposed shot for the windows. This works really well. Congrats

Another top 10! Well done!
Lovely separation with the DOF. Set up is nice with the clothes and snake etc. Next time use a more dangerous snake like a Gaboon adder or a Rhinoceros viper to add more drama... call me if you need them soon :-)

Just looking back on some images - Well done on another top 10 image. You really are pumping out some good scores recently. I know exactly where this is even though I have never stood there myself :-)
Need to go back soon!
A lovely image and great comp. The cloud sbelow just add another great aspect to the shot. Nice one!

Nice shot Rian. I haven't been on DPC in a few days and a pleasant surprise to see this wonderful panning image of yours in the top 10! Nicely done.
Not the Wildebeest you originally mentioned but a great shot none the less!

Great finish Rian - could not get any higher up even if the score wasn't over 7...
I think you better keep shooting there - 5th, 4th and now 1st in the last 3 challenges! Seems like a lucky spot :-)

I don't mind the border - the sky would just get lost on the boring DPC grey background.
No scores 4 and under, 4th place and 4 comments during the challenge - hmmmm
Congrats on the HM.
