I was always dropping lens caps and then never finding them again - I bought lenscaps of all sizes on strings from eBay. They make life much easier and you don't lose your lenscap.
This picture isn't really that good but I hate not having a picture up so I have a score to check. For some reason, days just seem so dull unless I have that score to check on. It seems like I'd rather feel slightly upset about a low score than do without having a picture up.

I want to rate you low just because you have a lens like that and I don't.
I like the composition, the lighting, DOF, and sense of "blowing in the wind". I even like the layers of colors and light in the background, and typically that bugs me. I like the warm light on the lens an lens cap and cool sky and mountain in the background.
Nice lens. Great idea. The picture are good, like the compisition and love the light. But the DOF... Well the cap is not in first plane as the lens. Leading my eyes and brain to logical conclusion of: Lens is the primary subject.
ohp! don't lose it... nice focus on lens and motion blur on cap, maybe the only thing I would say could help this photo is a little less warm colors and just a little more DOF on background.
