While I agree that the photographer in the landscape is something of a juxtaposition for the subject of Contrasts I think it works.
I like the use of a slow shutter speed giving a sense of movement in the clouds and your friend's clothing too.

Amazing shot. In MHO it would be a perfect shot if the photographer was cloned out altogether, but it is still a beautiful photo. Congratulations.

Very cool capture. Love how the hard scape anchors and draws you into the fluid silky smooth milky water, which merges and becomes one with the sky. It's eerie. Moody. The burred photographer adds an oddly perfect quirky contrast. So creative. Congratulations.

Photography has been and always will be about light. Without good lighting, whether it’s artificial or natural lighting, a photograph can be anything from good to simply stunning. For this particular shot, I waited for that moment when it was already bright enough that I could already see and capture some detail yet not too bright that the sky would appear washed out. I wanted the colors to pop. It’s about patience -- timing is everything. Being there at the right place at the right time is one thing, but knowing WHEN to press the shutter button to capture that exact scene right before your eyes makes all the differenceEquipment

This is a scene I don’t see often as I live in the city. I think the scene was majestic.Editing

Invest on good training No matter how good we think we are, the fact of the matter is there’s always gonna be someone out there who knows better than us. After all, photography in itself as a craft has been around for a while. Someone out there has got it all figured out and I think it only makes sense that we learn from them. So I encourage anybody to join training workshops, watch videos, read books, and most of all, shoot often and try to practice as much as they can. I’m yet to run into a photographer whose skills diminished because he practiced and shot too much.
