Beautiful place! It brings me closer to the nature! ;)
I just join for my very ever first contest on steemit, I would glad if you check it out! You might like it! ;) I would be happy for your opinion and support!

Please no begging on Steemit it is frowned upon and could get you flagged. You want me to look at your work and you did not even upvote my post? Very poor form.

That's not true.
I look for a posts I really like and if its has something similar to my post I would invite to check it out.
Is it incorrect?
I liked your post and I commented. I do not begging for votes and I will never do that!
Like I upvote and follow you and follow me back! I know that's lowering reputation!
I just want to hear some opinions.
Sorry if I insult you. I really did't mean that!
I learned my lesson!

I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I looked at your comment feed before making my comment above and "I just join for my very ever first contest on steemit, I would glad if you check it out! You might like it! ;) I would be happy for your opinion and support!" was cut and paste at the end of 5 or 6 of your comments. It might be a fine line but I consider posting basically the same comment spam. I did not flag the post or report it to @steemcleaners as I think you have good intentions and are just new to Steemit but I did want to point it out that I don't think its acceptable behavior.

Yeah! My bad! I know it now! I see how all that looks!
I just learning how the things are working here! Tried something and I went little to far I guess...
My mistake! As I wanted to make it better I did it worse!

Appreciate your honesty.

How did you capture the sun rays like that, or is that easier to do with high end equipment? Really nice photo!

I do a lot of hiking and I think sunrise offers the best light, better than sunset.

It requries the use of a multi element lens; so yes equipment has a lot to do with how the sunrays look. The more elements the more lines in the sun rays. The look is unique to the lenses and I think the Canon 16-35 series lenses have nice flairs.

If you stare at the photo long enough I can see the pale peach color just above the sun. It's not there for me, anyway, when I first look.

Stunning capture .... just stunning.

Thanks!

every morning, I wake up and check your posting, dear Rob... and every morning (or mostly, as you don't post everyday), I'm amazed. You make me travel, not only through landscapes, but also through vibrations. Magic. Thank you.

Thank you as always. Too kind.

Amazing shot, the sun flare is amazing!

Thanks ;-)
