I must admit, I really like this one. It's the best by far that I've seen of his work (admittedly I've not seen much).
But OMG his description of how he took it! Gimme a break! BTW, interesting to note that Gursky's Rhine II which is the current record holder for most expensive photograph was sold on the secondary market. Gursky didn't make that money, the print's owner did. In Lik's case he was the seller so the million went into his pocket.

There's an image of it here: http://www.petapixel.com/2011/01/13/australian-landscape-photographer-peter-lik-sells-photo-for-1-million/ It's a nice image but the selling price says more about the buyer than it does about the photograph.
