Shadow Over the Cliff

Uploaded: September 03, 2007

Description

I went out to a sight the other day where they are tearing up a road from a s curve and making it straight because of to many accidents.These are bulldozer track's.
The property is owned by a Amish farmer who was walking around and let me go with him to the top of the cliff to shoot photo's.
I was looking through my photo's and this one had my shadow shooting from above.
Comment's welcome and have a GREAT DAY!

Thanks so very much Jennifer, Sam and Jon.
I was actually scared to take this and many other shots as I am a scared of height,s. I stopped going up so many times lol, I went back down and went to a little lower edge but looking out over the top to get this shot, I admit, I was shaking lol. #4742008

super job my friend. Love the texture and design of the tracks. Your shadow is just more icing on the cake as it gives the photo that little extra.
Wonderful detail and imagination to make a photo out of this.

Thanks so very much Pat, I really appriciate it. I was kinda nervous talking this shot, as I am scared to death of heights and looking over that cliff was nerve racking lol. #4770178

Nancy (Peaches) Harker September 10, 2007

Thank you so very much Bob, really appriciate all your encouragemnt!!! Have a wonderful day! #4771881

Steven E. Ray September 10, 2007

This is a lot of fun! So unique and textured. I see you marked your photo for the EFP date... great idea seeing how slow the editors are this month :) Since so few EFP's are being given now, big congrats on the recognition! #4774077

Nancy (Peaches) Harker September 10, 2007

Yes, I try to remember to mark it when they were given. Just to see if there is a pattern or something. Also, I had about 7 EFP dissappear when they started, so it reminds me that there WAS one there.
Actually other's (different catagories)on the 3rd were given DAYS ago, so I was really surprised when the EFP was on there this morning. Maybe there is different judges for different catagories and do it at their own convience.
Thanks so very much, I really appriciate the support and encouragemnt you give me! Have a nice night. #4774504

Lisa J. Boulden level-classic September 17, 2007

Nancy, I love the composition and the textures on this one!
(I also find your comments regarding the disappearing EFP's interesting...I thought I had been somewhat demoted or something when it happenned to me. Glad I wasn't alone. LOL)
--Lisa #4805349

Nancy (Peaches) Harker September 17, 2007

Thank you so much Lisa, no your not alone lol, actually there is quite a few people's that disappered. I thought they were demoting them too lol, but they said it was a flaw when they started the EFP. #4805370
