I absolutely love this photo. The thumbnail looks so surreal, it makes you think "That can't actually be a photograph, can it?" The light lines in the background are amazing... I'm in awe.

I've looked at this several times and keep coming back. It has a soft wispy sense to it yet I feel as if I'm missing something. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe in the landscape orientation with more negative space. I'm not sure. Maybe I'd like to see more contrast on the fronds. I do like the bluish green and peachy tones of the background, which certainly suit the challenge. It just doesn't have the POW I'd like to see.
