Very imaginative, it really makes the viewer feel as though he/she is falling.

this is so cool. tight hands add the tension to this already scary shot. nice work. -Abstract

Wow - This looks very scary! It definitely is "down" and you really went to a lot of effort for this shot. Good one! CJ

Nice perspective, although I hope you didn't hurt yourself taking this picture :).

Blade, your description of how you did this is making me nervous. Please be careful! --Mary Anne

Appreciate the comments everyone. I tried a re-shoot today and failed miserably; the lighting was all wrong. So I may do another take yet before the challenge is up if the opportunity presents itself. For those interested in how I actually took the picture. Take a look at the pictures below. http://www.pbase.com/blademeister/image/66244648 http://www.pbase.com/blademeister/image/66244728 After getting exposure the right, I wrap the camera strap around my head which causes the camera body to press right up against my mouth. With the timer on, I lean over the edge with both hands stretched out and hope it turns out.

Great concept, Blade, and nicely carried out! Definitely on topic! Yikes! ~Sharon

Good shot, Blade. It reminds me why high places make me nervous. --Mary Anne

Nice image and idea blademeister. Just a thought if you do reshoot; I wonder if a more contorted look to the hands might add more drama?

I may re-shoot this. In take after take, I could never get the arms and hands just right.
