Description
Time to conclude my Austria series! I hope you enjoyed the rugged mountains up there, the landscape with grey rocks, joyful flowers and nice vista's. It's a while ago and I think my photographic skills have grown a bit in the meantime.
It's not my habit to alter real shots, but this is one of the exceptions and it's the end of this series. :) My cousin was lying down on the ground to shoot a flower and it was just funny to see him in that position. Afterwards I rotated this shot just to try (the original is the lower one) and it looked creepy to me. I've seen people climbing on steep precipices like these and that makes my hands sweat; my cousin, however, was just shooting being here safe and sound!
Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

Hahaha.. ja, prachtig.. fotografie kan inderdaad erg misleidend zijn, maar daardoor ook weer erg mooi. Dat toont deze foto maar weer eens aan.

An interesting capture, and an interesting postwork! I think maybe a little further could have looked more effective, tho. The lighting is very strange! Sad to see the end of this series, they have been spectacular.

LOL, your cousin looks rather stiff to me #:op I actually thought it was some kind of inflatable doll you had brought with you...yeah i know...quite a silly imagination i have, LOL. Besides if i had an inflatable doll i would definitly not dress it quite so warm...muahaha. Cool capture by the way #;o)

Super series. You cousin does sort of look like a dummy. I mean in the mannequin sense. Too high up for me!

That's freaky as you say. The original photo is great, but when you zoomed in and rotated the top one, it lost its sharpness and definition, which is a pity. That's something we have to watch out for when doing photomanipulations of any kind, but I'm sure you are aware of that!

Man you had me going there for a minute...the thing is, I wouldn't have put it past you to put yourself in this position to get the shot~ Thanks for the stunning shot and the great view! Aloha!

The first one is not so steep. It seems that we can walk on this slope, not climb!

cynlee
looks great tilted! like he's holding on to the end of the world! :]
vlaaitje
I agree with Cynlee...wonderful work again

Which way is El Capitan? In a shot the water fall blows up into the mists of heights. The clunk of a rock may be the only signal of which way is down. The ear is strangely directional to this. Mine is also right biased.

lol.. at what rotation does he start sliding? :)
Akinom
Hehe... you just fooled me with the upper one, Jan! When I saw it first I just stopped breathing! :o)
sossy
looks really crazy and dangerously! a cool idea for a joke! but in the original shot it also looks like he is rolling down the abyss! and the clouds are underlining the dramatic! ;o)
BorisB
Nice idea!

This is such an OUT OF THIS WORLD capture, Jan-Carel!!!! it looks almost as if he's wearing a space suit and space helmet. is it just me? scrolls up to read hmmmm....seems i'm the only one who sees him this way. but really what an incredible shot! sure does look like he's in a dangerous position and just the slightest bit of wind could push him over the edge. the sky is so strange looking too! you sure this was taken on Earth????? :) Cool capture!!!!!!

Funny. I like what you did with the image...and the fact you came clean about it! ;]
