Just back from an early holiday this year in Cyprus. Spring time is actually a nice time to visit although the weather for me this March was mixed with some cold and stormy days. This is great weather for landscapes though and I did manage a few nice shots.

Unfortunately I could not make the most of these extreme weather conditions as I was in aged company 70+. One day we took a safari trip up along the Akamas Peninsula during a thunder storm with lightning and waves the size of houses. The jeep with nine passengers was struggling in the wet conditions and I had to be restrained from getting out by my wife as the photo opportunities during this storm would have been awesome. Our passenger's were very distressed and just wanted bought back home by the driver.

Needless to say I had sit quiet in the jeep peering through steamed up windows ;(( BTW the shot I posted yesterday was another day when the wind was merely strong not a storm.

Hi Stephen,
A lovely scene, excellent detail and colour and a strong composition with the tree placed centrally. I'm not keen on the frame, I like something simple but frames are such a personal thing.
Regards,
Adrian

Hi Stephen, excelent photo, wondeful colures and good composition, The tree is maybe too much in center. Nice frame.

Woooooow! DOF and landscape master is back :-) Breathtaking view, Stephen! I love the way you showed us flowers and clouds - they looks like moving. Your 10-22mm is superb tool in your hands. Composition, colours, POV - all great!

Hello again,
This is another lovely shot! I like everyting about it, but I wonder if it wouldn't look a little better if the tree was more to the left.
Anyway, very well done on this one!

magnificent landscape,
very nice shot, stephen! :-)
the lonely single tree and the dramatic sky
are superb details.
very well seen & captured,
thor.

Hi Steve,
Wet conditions, steamy windows, and crotchety passengers..Sound like a grand "old" time to be had by all! ;-}} Excellent shot as usual from you mf. A pleasure to view..
Very well done.

Excellent exposure on this wide angle scenic shot very dramatic shot with nice colors. Sky Foreground & Background nicely lit. :)

Superb capture Stephen, a small negative from my side I find the small rock in the foreground a little distracting other wise I like it

Hi Stephan,
Outstanding composition! Very strong. I disagree with anyones contention that it is to centered. It is flawless IMHO. Detail, DOF, and clarity are excellent. That 10mm is amazing.
SCOTT

A great capture again Stephen,
You really get the best from your equipment, the results are always of a very high quality.
No nits, just another spot on post from you.

Ce paysage est superbe. La grade profondeur de champs et l'exactitude de l'exposition donnent d'excellents détails sur toute l'image. L'effet du grand angle est très intéressant. Bravo

Hi Stephen,

The ND grad filter served you well here. Great exposure. There is nothing in the composition that excludes the viewer...one feels like he could just step into this scene.

Hello Stephen, this has some impact, I like the lone tree and against that sky it is so much better than it would be against a less busy BG. Nice work.

Hi Stephen,
Very great picture, I like very much.
The sky and the colours are wonderful.
TFS ;-)

Bonjour Stephen,
Voici une composition peu commune mais intéressante. Le ciel et la terre méritaient la même place et la ligne d'horizon au milieu de la photo donne une certaine sérénité malgré ce ciel bien sombre. C'est beau.
