As a photographer myself I can vouch about the same problem; “Is this shot really going to turn out at all?” And presto! Hey, you never know what you're going to get.
This is a really good shot... the composition is really nice, and I love how the colours still manage to be eye-catching, even with the overcast lighting. Very nicely done!
I think that sometimes, the things that we believe will work against us, actually turn out to be in our favour. That is true with this picture, but I also believe it is often true in life, and it depends, to a great degree on how we look at things.
You are absolutely right Wayne, our perspective on everything in life affects us in all that we do. I try to have a very positive attitude. Failure and negativity are not in my vocabulary. Your gallery is superb and it is always a pleasure to discover new photos to enjoy.
Great photograph!
