Seems like these types of photos always do well, and I'm never able to get good shots for them. finally I found a spot that provides nice opportunities depending on the position of the sun in the sky. Went to this place multiple times taking all sorts of different photos, all of which seemed to turn out nicely.
This particular shot was my first ever Explored on flickr. Hopefully it also does well here at DPC. I would give this a 7 or 8, so I expect it to land somewhere between 5.6-6.0. Of course, this challenge is so crazy wide open to interpretation that I'm not sure how voting is going to go at all.
I took three images (-1.67, +0.33, +2.33) and combined them to create this exposure.
