god you are really damn good. Although this is kind of "corny", the actual photo itself photogenetically speaking it SPOT-ON!

That sky and the crispness is just too damn good.

Excellent job.

la composition est sympa, contraste et couleur réussi, je trouve juste qu'il manque un peu de luminosité et les noirs un peu trop poussé.

Sinon très belle photo comme d'habitude
