    Yes it does look like a location with some potential but you have to get there when the light is better.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    I think the lighting is a bit harsh but the composition is very good. That's a great view, where was it taken?

    Marc - I agree that the lighting it probably too harsh in the foreground. The background is great though. When I first viewed it I said "whooow" cause it made he a little dizzy.. Quite a drop there. Seems like a nice spot alright. I think the spot could be used for posing models. I would like to see a very fit model standing there, very high and very tall, looking out to the horizon or to the water, as to say "I made it", higher than anything else. But the hard part is getting models to a place like this, eh?

    Re: Floating Sensation

    !st off, i do realize that i need to fix the light... the RAW file allows for various attempts... I'll post the fix soon....

    MB1, I will be getting there once in winter time... and once again spring or summer.... not an easy location to reach... and for photo purposes, i will need to make the trip specially for that and on my own or with models... but there will sure be a more "educated" visit....

    Greg, I love this location and although have gone there about 30 times in total this was the first time with proper camera! It is in Lebanon.... area called Nahr Ibrahim (River Ibrahim) where the locals....call it The Heaven of River Ibrahim.... from this location onward about 1hr 30 min walking (hiking rather) is where things become heavenly....

    GB, I promise you this... I will be getting myself a model up there.... not so sure about tall and slender... but someone who would fit the location!!

    Thanks for the input guys.... keep an eye out for the series soon... as MB reminded me... i need to give fixing the photos more time.....

    Cheers
