this is an incredible shot!
nailed him pin sharp, and the OOF background just adds to the overall image, much better than a solid blue sky IMO.
seeing all these posts are making me think i should visit this place sometime...

Yes, this is stunning Chris! So different, it really makes you look twice. Thanks for sharing it!
...just a minor nit from my side: I see some noise in the shadow areas and I think you're overdoing shadow/highlights a bit in post processing??
