Set in the grounds of Champagne Castle in Central Drakensberg Mountains in remembrance of those who lost their lives climbing. (Champagne castle, Cathkin Peak and the Turret far background) It was very overcast and misty and late afternoon.
(My problem was trying to decide what to keep straight - I settled on the cross of the chapel and keeping the start of the path out of the corner. Any other ideas welcome!!)

Jeni, I like your composition and I think it looks straight- it's always so hard to tell-but I think you got it!

fantastic on all accounts. clean frame edges, some really nice layering in the mtns, and the fence leads you right to the center of the frame!!

What a view Jeni, good idea about using the cross to straighten. Love the layered look of the mountains too.
