No, this is not a self-portrait :). I wish I knew how to find this photographer, I'm pretty sure he'd like this photo. I gave him my card, but he never e-mailed me.

One of my last photos of 2006. Shot from the Dante's view in Death Valley, CA. Below you see Badwater - the lowest point in Western Hemisphere - 282 feet below sea level.

Beautiful photo, Lev. The sense of "waiting" comes through well.

Nice work Lev. It has a real sense of stillness(with a hint of desolation)

Nice leading lines and what a great view.. It makes me think "If the valley behind the photographer is so beautiful, than how much more stunning will the photo he's waiting for will be."

Beautiful landscape. With the drama of an expensive DSLR precariously poised over a precipice waiting to do it's job! Nice. Doesn't look like Achoo. Hmmmmmmm.

The title reminded me of Bear_Music's "My time is spent waiting for the light" entry. Great idea - one we can all relate to. Very appropriate for this particular challenge. I think the road really adds a lot to this image (perspective). Though I know not how to dodge and burn well, I can't help but conclude that an adept dodge/burn on the sky could really add to this particular image if done well. Nice work.

I hope it was worth the wait! I have no idea where this is but it looks like a beautiful place and I love the comspotion and the way you have used the rocks and background to create a diagonal across the frame :o)
