I am dizzy and a bit nauseous just gazing on this glorious photo (I'm a hopeless acrophobe). But the photo is stupendous! Congratulations on getting there and on taking full advantage of your situation! It's a WINNER without a shadow of a doubt!

Wow, I'm quite taken aback by the flood of positive response from this photo. While I too enjoy the photo, it seems to evoke much stronger emotions in others! When I first reviewed my photos from this trip I thought this image was neat, but nothing special... ho-hum, you might say. But as more people see this photo and as I see their reactions, I can come to no other conclusion than I must have made a huge mistake on judging its appeal and quality. Thank you for allowing me to clearly see another point of view. It has been quite a learning experience for me. #5779204
