1DX69187 - Clowning around




Since many have asked, I'll explain that there was another ledge beneath the one I am standing on that is not visible in this photo. If I had fallen, it would only have been a few feet to the 2nd ledge below. I made this image to mess
with my brother, who always sends me photos when he is visiting national parks, that make it appear that he is falling off a cliff or a ledge. I would never really get this close to an edge if it were possible for me to fall very far.

Great composition. You look like almost jumping from the picture.
Very sharp foreground focus.

such a wonderful composition. Seems there is a huge drop down there.V

Thanks for your comment, Marc. Actually there is another ledge a few feet under the one I am standing on that you cannot see in the photo. So even if I fell it would not be very far. I made this image to mess with my brother, who always sends me similar photos that make him appear that he is about to fall off a cliff when he is traveling around various National Parks. People who know me realize that I would never really go this close to an edge with a big drop off.
