Photographer's Note
This is the Fifteenth of Twenty Four of my Grand Canyon Series.
Taken at Hermit's Trail along the south rim, this is another shot of the hiker who is resting right on the edge of the precipice with no fear of height. He is also eating his packed lunch. His legs as you can see are dangling over the edge. I know that he is savouring the view and soaking it all in but I find it too dangerous. This is not being brave, this is being intrepid.

Hi Andre.
Excellent view. I like here the vertical format and also I like the presence of that man.
Great depth and place. The light is good too and, over the horizont, even the clouds adds an interesting element.
Nice work.
Regards.

Another fine entry into your Grand Canyon series, Andre. One more time I am genuinely impressed by the sheer endless DOF and the impeccable amount of details rendered in the crisply sharp layered texture of the formations. The hiker - intrepid or not - is well included and works fine as a compositional element that draws the viewer into the scene. The light is very good, what time of day did you take this?

Hi Andre,
Your Grand Canyon series is most successful. This shot is well composed and ideally presented in the portrait format. The superb shadows in the foreground, plus the resting hiker, form a separate and distinct scene from the vast grandeur of the canyon beyond. Great tones and hues of colour entrance the eye. Andre, this shot is worth far more points and attention than is on the board so far. (And I see that our eminent Norbert also recognizes this.) Very well captured.
John
