Excellent...

...Really gives the sense of exposure. LOVE how the mist gives a mysterious and dangerous feel to this GREAT pic!

Thanks for sharing,

Re: Excellent...

Thanks Lew. Actually the mist prevents you from fully understand exposure, which is good!

Re: Excellent...

If I was the one who was standing there - yes!

Soothing...

But I felt - as the viewer of the picture - the danger the SUBJECT was in, not being able to see what was below but knowing that whatever it was, it was a LOOONG way down!

Anyway, your picture moved me and evoked strong emotions - and to me THAT is the hallmark of a great mountain shot.

Thanks again for taking the time to post and reply,

Big Lew

PS - Currently reading 'The Rise of Endymion' by Dan Simmons, and this picture beautifully portrays the milieu of that novel. 'Hyperion' (first book of the series) by Dan Simmons is the beginning of a four-novel set that - to me - is the finest speculative fiction ever written.

Hyperion. Dan Simmons. HIGHLY recommended to one and all.
