I actually like this one better than the other shot of this location. The colors aren't as brilliant but are very pleasing and the figure adds interest. V
The color, subject matter and composition alone make this a beautiful capture Scott, but your timing in getting the figure at just the right moment has elevated it from merely another landscape into something that also ofers us a human connection. As Gordon W's comment suggests, we are able to read human emotion into the stark, silhouetted figure.
