Wow! You know, I was in this challenge for a charity purpose. But I didn't vote nor did I even look through the images. Congrats on your finish - Top 20 in a Free Study! Impressive! I love the image. Extremely well composed and extremely well balanced - color/neutral; sharp/not sharp. Well done Jimmy! You nailed it! This is a 'print' I want.



Did I say WOW! Straight to fav's!

I have not seen something so nice for a long time. This is great work and a great photo and place. I did not vote on this but this should be in the front page.

nice shot, feels like a piece of art. The compositions feels a little off for me but i'm not sure why, think I would prefer a tighter crop to bring the white hut further into the frame. lovely colours and a nice softness to the shot
