One more time...

This is, again, again, a shot from the marsh land of Denmark.
There is really isn't much to write... but see my remarks on previous photos.

The family on the left really "makes" this picture, what would otherwise be rather plain. I just goes to show how important a point of reference can be.

This is wonderful Jorn for the finely rendered colors and detail, as well as your composition. Your excellent equipment served you well in this capture, but it is your decisions about how to compose the image that make it special. Placing the family at the left edge opens up all the space on the right and gives us both a focal point and all that wonderful sky to appreciate.

For your information, the horizon is rotated slightly counterclockwise. I checked using the measuring tool in Photoshop and found it is 0.15 degrees off level. I was testing my eyes as much as your image since it looked off slightly to me.

Keep up the fine work Jorn. The more energy you put into TrekEarth, the greater the rewards on many levels.

Beautiful shot. Yes, the family on the left does make the picture but I don't want to brush past the great choice of sky to land ratio. The large cloud is also another terrific focal point.

Nice work, the group of people really finish off the picture, good work.

Very good, I liked the way you composed the people in this frame, it is not by the rules but it is very good (my opinion), the sky is very beautiful with the huge clouds.

Very beautiful scene, I like the horizon with this georgous sky in the back, great colors and great idea to include the people on the left, very well seen.

Neat photo you have.

La grande place laissée au ciel est bien vue, la netteté et le rendu des couleurs sont irréprochables et la présence de cette famille à gauche équilibre parfaitement la photo.
Excellent travail, Jorn.

A great horison composition, the corner position of the little group is so well done!

Yes Jorn - I know the feeling - I also got a lot of sky photos which I like to post (And I surely will some day) but then again - theres a lot of new photos to post as well - thanks for sharing this fine capture - I like the composition you got.

Stunning! Blue skies, green grass, clouds - it's all really impressive, but the best thing is these guys standing in the corner and giving us the sense of the scale of all this field.

Jorn,

Simple, beautiful and well-composed. The clouds couldn't be better and the color is great. It is also nice that the mother was wearing red to give the subject just a little more draw.
