      Spectacular colours and composition. I also really like the way the clouds at the top are reflecting the sun back down.

      Peek-a-boo! Like how that sun is just peering round the hill.

      Really nice. Who'd have thought that an oil-rig would look so good.

    5. The Renaissance (74 months ago | reply)

      It is a wonderful photo - beautifully warm colours and a fantastic silhouette.

      A very satisfying composition.

      I really like the geometric versus the natural curve along with the lighting. Makes it very interesting to the eye.

      fave it!

      Great positioning to catch the Sun like that. The sort of thing that benefits form a bit of local knowledge and forward planning.
