 This was taken on the Island of the Sun on Lake Titicaca on the bolivian side. This path leads to the incan mythic birthplace of the sun moon and stars. We were walking along and this guy is coming along with his firewood and i just couldnt pass up the opportunity to turn around and take this shot. Technically this is "Of, relating to or characteristic of the country." but as always i wait to see the reaction of the voters in terms of dnmc and taste.. i like it, so whatever... ;)

Wow, I like the blue colors, very bright lit picture, I like the angle of the clouds, coming fron the man, and almost lining up perfectly with the water line, I hope this one gets a ribbon, 10.

I love the lines in the sky. And the bright sun on the land is a great contrast to the blue surrounding. Fabulous shot.

Use Photoshop and tone down the white just a bit to bring in some details.
