On the edge of a fall, above the clouds Photo

Photographer’s Note

Over 2000 meters above sea level, the sky is darker and the clouds are lower. In here there is a veryy narrow path, which has been used by a lift. It goes accros two mountain tops. With a little ridge on the righ which is very visible and and extremly scary deep fall on the left. The sun was very strong, and therefore it gave a good lighting effect to the snow.

I really like the inclusion of the pole on the right of the picture which gives the impression of actually being in the picture. A real good sense of perspective. Having seen this picture I need to quickly nip out and get my snowboard waxed up and edges sharpened :-)

An unbelivably well-thought composition. Brilliant. Very good DOF and POF.

Best regards,

I like the photo, and it cant have been too easy to take, i think the way the photo is centred looks great, with the clouds ahead adding a nice tone. Overall this photo is just cool. There is no other way of describing it.

Hi Artur
you have managed to get a good adventure sport feel to this photo and the inclusion of the pole was good.
I also like the crispness of the snow and the overall mood of the photo.
Sorry I have no suggestions for this photo ... I like it as such ... maybe a bit of under exposure would have been nice though
tfs ... cheers ... sarju

The lighting is good, you've caught the texture of the snow and ice very well. The splash of red colour is a pleasing contrast against the cold colours too.

My only crit is that the subject is dead-centre. Applying the "rule of thirds" may had improved this.

But it's a minor concern, it's a great shot anyway.
