Hi Claudio, I love drama of the full height view of the cliff face, but figure is almost too small (at least on the web image) and gets a little lost. Also, an impressive amount of shadow detail in whats looks like fairly high contrast lighting.
Richard.

At first I thought it was a cenote & looked for people swimming--then I saw the person "on the edge." A smiler. Super composition. - Jean

It's the small details that does it, as a Swedish saying goes. Here it is the tiny figure that supplies drama and perspective to the image and gives it the edge. A very fine entry, Claudio.

Very fitting. I did not realize the sheer scale of the of 'the edge' until I saw the person next to it! Too bad that it did not show up on the thumbnail.
