Steiner: this is simply magnificent. This image has movement within a great expanse and it is an outstanding coming together of many ingredients. The body position soars and the expression is right there to exploit the the overhang of the hands against the turbulent sky. Done like a master!

i commented during the challenge but thought I would say congrats (I thought that this had to be a backdrop ... unless you live in Iceland or something :) ... Upon further observance ... even the clouds seem to fit just perfectly in this image. Notice how the left cloud is semi parallel with the arm and flows toward the body like a wing ... clouds on the right conform along the shape of the hand. The set-up is great and the bit of luck with the clouds make a semi-subliminal balance that is appealing in many ways. You've raised the bar a bit for self portraits me thinks.

This picture amazes me immensely. I cannot believe how great it looks and the fact that it isn't photoshop'd makes it all the more impressive. Great job man!
Post actions
AMAZING! When I first saw this I thought it had to be a great photoshop job but upon further reading I see that you really were ther...Truly fantastic. I would love to try something similar for my own portfolio but alas there is no scenery like that where I am from...Great job and congratulations!

I have been meaning to send you a comment about this truly awesome shot. Congratulations on a well thought out, technically challenging/excellent shot! You deserve the blue! I am so envious of your beautiful icelandic landscapes. Thanks for the set-up shot, helps dispel the backdrop theory.
