jason neymeyer 0 Posted May 21, 2002 Wow, this is the type of image that makes a person realize how small and insignifcant we are on this planet. The person on the edge of the cliff is what makes this photo. Link to comment
istvan_hernadi 0 Posted May 21, 2002 Very impressive photo. The scenery in northernNorway is spectacular, you have captured what it's like to stand at the edge of the Arctic. Link to comment
rick vincent 1 Posted May 22, 2002 I know when I'm about to rate a photo very well. The first word out of my mouth was "wow." Link to comment
edward_virtue 0 Posted May 22, 2002 To quote Rick Vincent "Wow!" - the first thought when I saw this image, very powerful! Link to comment
atle.g 0 Posted May 22, 2002 Stunning image! as others mentioned, the man and the fact that he is barely visible give excellent scale. Meget bra!! Link to comment
stan_broadway 0 Posted May 22, 2002 One of the best I've ever viewed on Photonet! Congratulations. Link to comment
hans paul 0 Posted May 22, 2002 Thanks for comments and ratings, just want to mention that the cliff that you barely can see top/middle of the picture is "Knivskjellodden" Europe`s northenmost point. North of this point is only one island, Spitsbergen, before the Northpole. Link to comment
rjcoolpix880 0 Posted May 23, 2002 This photo is a great example of how a person is used to show scale in a photo. great photo. Link to comment
gilbert_c 0 Posted May 24, 2002 It's really a pleasure viewing this photo! Looks great! I might want to shoot it at a little bit wider focal length and then corp out the center part horizontally to make it look like a XPAN photo if I had the chance to stand in front of such beautiful scene.

julie_edwards 0 Posted May 24, 2002 I would like to say something terribly profound, but I'm speechless! Link to comment
fri www.splitlife.com 0 Posted May 24, 2002 what a great shot, the only little thing maybe for me is what the person is doing (looks like theyre kicking a football or something). maybe another version for me (cos this shot is great as it is) would be to do the panoramic crop like the guy above suggested but also use a slightly longer lens so that we could see more of the person.

photos from various genres 0 Posted May 26, 2002 Great photo..Norway is one of the most profoundly beautiful places in the world and you have made a photo that matches it's beauty and give a feeling for it's essence. Link to comment
marco_vargas 0 Posted May 27, 2002 the image is good. it could be easily improved by more protagonism of the person at the left, and better light quality to have a greater color range or variety. Link to comment
alberto.conde 0 Posted May 28, 2002 Have you tried cropping it to vertical format, taking out that fuzzy big whittish cloud in the right foreground? Fantastic and impressive shot, in any case. Congratulations! Link to comment
monti 0 Posted May 28, 2002 Yes, this is a nice image but for those of you commenting that this image captures the spirit of Norway, you might find it interesting to know that this is an image that could be captured almost identically along the coast of California on any number of days in the summer as the coast is often socked in by fog. The fact that this image is the northern most point in Europe really means nothing to its aesthetics. If anything, knowing that information, I would want more out of the image in order to rate it in the 7+ range. It's not to say this isn't a compelling image. But rating it a 9 or 10 is rather generous... Link to comment
dougityb 0 Posted June 12, 2002 The Where of this photo is not so important as the What, that is, the overwhelming power and awe of nature and the ability of Man to value himself as a component of Creation, not as master, or benefactor thereof. Link to comment
seyon 0 Posted August 10, 2003 Apparently neither you nor the person in the photo suffer from acrophobia. Breathtaking, for more than one reason! Link to comment
alan chan 0 Posted September 21, 2003 This is a really powerful image ! My guess is that a "PS Made up" (a superimposition of the cliff & foggy background) but whatever , this is "arresting" & it calls for my "salute" ! Link to comment
