Not voting yet, but I have to say this is probably my personal favorite in the challenge on first blush. The title is inspired. I love how it makes the sense of place and the person's experience of place-in-the-place the main storytelling element. Personally, I would have cropped a bit tighter on the left, to capture the mountain peak while still placing the subject a little off-center and to make the leading line of the handrail a little less distracting from the horizon.

Feels like a candid moment that only existed for a split second, and you managed to freeze it in time and draw out its emotional resonance with the soft processing. Truly lovely.
