This is an amazing locale. However, the pose of the couple and the straight-on camera angle has a "Me at ____" snapshot quality, which I don't like. This is a decent photo, but I long to see a more original image of this highly original spot. I'd certainly like to see something with a wide-angle that shows the dramatic 1000m drop.

What a location... Seeing those folks on that rock gives me a shiver. I think in hindsight you probably could have chose a bit better perspective, but given the drop, I might have been hesitant myself. I believe cropping a bit off the sky would aid to emphasize the height.

Excellent shot. However it would look even better if we didnt the the base rock at the bottom of the picture. I would have cropped out the bottom about 100 Pixels. This would (in my opinion) have given the viewer an idea of the sheer drop. I also like the back drop since it actually indicates or gives a perspective of the height of the rock. I am glad you did not crop off the sky.
I also like the couple on the rock, because although it may have a 'Me at ___' quality, it gives the viewer a better feel of the position of the rock. Had the couple not been there, it would not have been such a great shot.

Fantastique, la nature nous réserve toujours de ces surprise.
Bonne composition.

AS opposed to one of the other criticques.. I like the pose on the rock - it adds the everyday.. to a spectacular setting. Sometimes the juxtaposition of things really adds something to an image.. where trekearth contributors often go for the spectacular settings - photographs are meant to convey an emotion.. I think this one does..

Impressive place!

A little tip, from another newbie, for better tourist shots: photos where the subject is not directly looking at the photograph often look more natural. It's a good compromise between landscape shots (nice, but not very personal) and cliché "so and so in front of" pictures.

You could have caught the subjects sitting with their back at you and looking at the scenery, or one of them pointing at something in the distance, or looking down (ok, maybe looking down is not such a good idea here but you get the idea; catching your friends before they're realized or after they've forgotten you're here)...

Hi Gard,
I'm quite happy to be here :-))
Fascinating place, great you added the couple to have a scale.
I think sharpness could be better; anyway I like this risky posing, well done!
Regards
Knut

I would totally freak up there!!! I think there is a very dramatic effect to this picture even if a wide lens can add to it.
Thanks for sharing such a great place in the world!

Actually I have seen a photo of this place in a trecking magazine! Nice to see it herre again!
Norway is really beautiful! Hopefully I will have a chance to go there as well soon. (But I am not sure if I will stand there, too ;) ).
Anyway thank you for sharing - a new favorite photo for me :)

Hi
Looking at this picture I imagined myself on this rock and the blood started to freeze in my vains. In don't quite agree with "Me at ____" opinion. It rather shows how crazy are people sometimes to get an original picture and shock their friends.
The presence of those people there makes the photo much more interesting than only the image of fiords.
About the quality - it could be sharper.
Take care
Henryk

@sam: here is the picture you want: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_bc7JhvNPrnw/R_uKtR32ARI/AAAAAAAAHlk/IgpqJZbjJ8o/NO-+9053.JPG

Il est vrai que certaines photos donne l'impression qu'il n'y a d'apic que dans la perspective.

Mais le coté sympa de cette photo, c'est qu'on se dit: comment ils ont fait pour y aller!

Une fois qu'on en a vu d'autres (photos), le charme disparait.
