Thanks for your comments, Larry. I find them interesting, challenging and useful. because of the way that this rock jutted out from the cliff, and because of the lighting (I was there to grab some sunset images), there were only two decent angles. I can always go back, but not many of my friends would be willing or able to climb out on that rock! Besides, I think that his age, his hair, and his bare back all contribute to the feeling of the shot. This shot, I think, conveys a totally different feeling, although it has the same subject and the same angle of view as the first Perched image: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18180619&size=lg Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
