I'm actually surprised at how well this scored on DPC. This has pretty minimal editing. Only major difference from the original is the crop. This was actually croppped from a photo taken in landscape mode. Seemed like cheating for the challenge but it's what I would have done with it anyway.
Glad to have a new photo for my profile page. :)

very nice photo....absolutely love it....but i have a minolta 7d question. my 7d shows my photos absolutely in focus (whether in bright conditions or low light), however, when i snap the photo, the image is slightly outta focus...or not so sharp....any idea what might be causing this problem...
make sure in a landscape "portrait" that no emphasis goes to anything but the landscape. (person portrait = main emphasis on the person landscape = main emphasis on landscape)
This is terrific, lovely & muted & somber. The lone figure, of course, is the grace note that makes the image. His posture is perfect for the scene, as if a world of cares is weighing on him.
