Intriguing, and beautifully photographed. Very strong sense of composition, those lines giving a strong flow through the frame.

Nothing new here - it's been done a million times before...
But, this is still in my top 10 in the challenge because you've done it so very well. Amazing detail and fantastic colours. Great shot...
