no it was just a relatively weak showing from the lit clouds (whatever the cause of that is... too thick clouds?)

That's fantastic! Looks like you got the photo in the nick of time.

you've caught sweet facial expression on him... i can almost see him as the kitten he once was.

I like all the contrasty lines -min the bus and on the ground

Stunning! The original allowed very tasty close inspection. The stream in the valley floor drives home the scale involved here and it's evident there's no scope for drone retrieval. Fantastic shade detail throughout, and I especially like seeing how the foreground rills become better defined, fewer in number and wider apart as the eye traces their courses downslope from the bottom of the red band. Standing on the plateau surface away from the canyon, you'd have no inkling of what lies beneath. You got me hooked again.

Clever stuff! The frame is dominated by distractions from the prime subject, but she shines with aplomb. That giant leaf shadow is amazing.

Appreciate being offered this concentrated view as well - it emphasises the ruggedness and lets microforms shine.
