Originally posted by Melethia: Nicely real. What's in the tree on the left? And you wouldn't catch me standing that close to the edge with a camera... cameras often distort the where you are bit. I don't have a fear of heights, but I have a fear of falling, and this shot makes me just a wee bit nervous. And why is it people don't like people in shots? I've never quite figured that out.

The angle makes it look like i'm a lot closer to the edge than I really am. There is probably a good 8 more feet of rock before it drops off. The drop right there isn't too bad. I mean I wouldn't want to fall, but you'd probably just tumble into some trees. I believe the think on the tree is someone's backpack. BTW I'm the second one from the right (I guess that's probably obvious by the camera!)

The road sweeping past and away, the overgrown derelict structure, impending doom in the clouds, all lends itself to a movielike quality, now we need a hero to come find the treasure. I've revisted this photo and bumped up another point.

Not sure if you could have recomposed and kept the buldings and vanishing trail, but those markers in the lower right could standto come out of the photo (imho).

Nice shot, a little heavy on the HDR or USM for me, but I do like the sky and the way the colors pop. 6

This looks like an abandoned artillery battery (similar to the ones at Ft Stevens (near Astoria, OR). Pretty cool pic. The PP really makes the sky dramatic and the colors stands out.

If this is basic editing, then it is an amazing shot. I would swear it was HDR based on the detail of the clouds alone!

Worth the work you put into this photo as well. It deserves a high score and from me it will receive one.

Lovely colors in the sky, but the top looks like it has a reflection (like it was shot through a window), and it looks a bit like an overdone HDR in some areas. Again, great color. And composition. And sharpness. 8
