He's should not be smoking in such a beautiful place in nature.
Hope the cigarette butt did not end up in the grass somewhere...?

Nice shot though. Could have set to F/22 instead for greater depth of field. Then you don't need to set ev to -1.7
And take another one at f/2.8 for that bokeh look too!

Tired and scary! It may not be apparent, but we were standing on a slope with slippery sand beneath our feet!

I was a heavy smoker before.
The cigarette is more tasty in the place like that. :D

All pictures are so beautiful.
