The contrasting ements are highlighted beautifully, and the human form looks like it belongs there as part of nature. Visually interesting and stimulating. I would call this an instant classic.

great shot !!!

love all your work
but this is really something
special congrats on home page

absolutely stunning work and well done on the home page!!!!!

How do you feel??????? Weeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

stunning, congrats on the win!

I would’ve thought capturing an untouched photograph that expresses Gaia would’ve been difficult, and many photographic entries I saw didn’t even relate to the competition at all. I didn’t come across this before, but I’m glad to get to see it now; it is exactly what the competition was about: OUR complex relationship with the earth. Congratulations!

YAY!!!!!! Just heard the news…truely a most auspicious moment!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!

Great congrats !!! STUNNING concept and execution !!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYBODY FOR THE KIND WORDS AND WELL WISHES
