This pic has a cool light to dark effect. I like person standing on the edge, but the stuff on the ground in the distance is really distracting. Overall it's a good shot though.

Agree, but the "stuff" could be cloned out.

Overall, it's a nice capture.

those are houses. i can see why you say they are distracting but dont you think they make you feel the elevation all the more.

I think the houses in the shot work. They show why he goes up there to meditate or pray or whatever it is he goes up there to do.

i must confess prayer and meditation must be like last thing on his mind even though it looks so. its actually a tourist spot and he is just hanging around.

Wow, seriously? Then what the heck is he doing? lol

Edit: oh, nevermind, you said he's just hanging around. but why does he look like he standing in some sort of marial arts pose?

yeah, the tricky part was to get all the other people out of the frame and get that solitary spiritual feel!!!
