Fred,
A beautiful picture of this beautiful Cuban Landscape lit by the light of the rising (setting) sub which has given it a touch of gold. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with razor sharp focus.

This is a beautiful view. I love how you can just see for miles in this photo. The lighting is perfect, and your focus and framing are good as well. I like how the red flowers in the front give just enough color. You did a fabulous job with this one. Thanks for sharing it :)

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
This is the very very best shot for that topic and the moment as upfront is all very clear USA and at the horizon all is foggy, still but the connection is already visible and has been re-established even when not so strong yet with a curtain of misty zones
your shot could not be better as it reflects perfectly the political timing - yet there is much more to it and has been a very prudent and wise step of Obama even when much do not understand it - makes me smile that all discussion go into a total different direction as the true objective Lola, super shot, thanks for sharing

Comment from gidavidson
I think it is great news and hope the US and Cuba can have positive relations for a change that will benefit the people of both countries. A good low sun view, focused and framed to show the beauty of the area.

I'd go, in a minute. Tourists (direct from US) still not allowed, but I'm sure that will change as soon as the money starts to flow. Looks like a beautiful place. Would never associate this with Cuba. Cheers, James.

Beautiful landscape captured nicely with foreground bushes. Beautiful lighting, focus, colour and composition. I feel enhancing clarity of the hills could produce a better composition.
