Mandy Provan from Johannesburg, South Africa

@Mandy Provan: Thanks very much Mandy....there was something about the natural way that this building sat in the landscape that I found really attractive and I had to stop and photograph it.
@Saeed: Thanks very much Saeed!
@Daroru: Thanks very much Daroru....I hadn't thought of this particular photo as having cinematic qualities but I'm really pleased if you some of that in it!
@KimberlyC: Thanks very much Kim......I added a touch of extra contrast to the flag and to the ski marks in the foreground snow which helped as well as some general dodging and burning. If you haven't got a digitiser tablet you should give it a try as they are fantastic for precise selections for selective lightening and darkening in photoshop.
