Oooh - I was one of the "middle finger" crowd (gave it a 5). No matter how hard you try to explain it, it just doesn't scream "from above". Yeah, call me a DNMC Nazi on this one. In any case, you ended up with still an amazing image. ...not that you need any more of those. ...but not that you need any more ribbons either. ...ok, I'm done yammering on. :D
This is a striking image of sky and water. The strongest elements are higher than the camera. If this had included the sweep of the cliff abruptly dropping down to the shore, it could have conveyed "From Above" a lot more than this framing.
