Lovely image, looks like a beautiful place!

As a fellow (very rusty amateur and not nearly as talented as you) photographer, the image alone is enough for me. That said, any background information you feel like providing is always useful and interesting, as others have noted.

The answers to your questions are also helpful to me, as I'd like to start posting photography eventually too. I used to do it regularly on Google+ (mostly street photography) and most of the time I would post just an image along with the place and date and a few tags. I don't know if that's an acceptable way to do it here?

I personally like doing it that way because I like the image to speak for itself, but I guess that might also depend on the type of photography.

As to what sort of photos do I like? All of them. Whether an image is beautiful or just thought provoking, portraiture or landscape etc, it all has value to me.
