Outrageously and sublimely beautiful! What a SHOT!
Is this natural "rainbowing" at the base of the falls? I love the pumped up color. But...the REAL show here is the Stone People!
This is a killer shot, man. Thanks so much for putting this one out on the boards. I am richer for having seen this fine piece.
The sense of a true "audience" from the Stone People is very evident, and invokes the imagination into feeling that they truly ARE watching the show.
Excellent title, and excellent naming of those rocks as the Stone People. Wow, that was great thinking. Even the font on the image title is very fitting.
I love this one.
GREAT!
Editing, because I keep looking at this piece of art: The Stone People....there is a certain majesty there. The fact that you cropped the rocks very close to the edge adds a LOT to the displacement of them as a sort of ancillary audience to the spectacle going on. There is a certain singularity of repose in those Stone People shapes. Almost a reverence and a quiet sort of dignity. One could almost feel them as a race of people who have been extinct for some time, but have now come back as apparitions to give all of us a sense of the importance of mankind. To me it shows that we are merely a thread in the web of life.
This image invokes a lot of emotion. And the credit for that goes to you for thinking about the image and putting such a name as Stone People to the rocks. That was the catalyst that brought this image from excellent and into the realm of outstanding.
Man, did you ever do well here.

Hi Larry.
What a wonderful editorial. A very eloquent commentary on the photograph, I appreciate it tremendously. I’m so glad it brought you such deep emotions and enjoyment.
First the fire falls and now this! You nailed this one. Great image. Simply awesome. I am 100 per cent with Larry55 on the impact of the rock people and their placement in the frame. Well done.
Mike:
I think this is the most creative image I've seen in this forum for more than a year. Hung on a wall in a large format . . . this would stop people in their tracks. Congratulations on a spectacular piece of work.

This is one of the freshest pieces of photographic art I've seen in a while. I can't add any more superlatives to what has already been expressed. Thanks for sharing.
One of the coolest shots I've seen! You did a great job framing this one and getting an exceptional image. The colors are just fantastic. I wish I had a 1Ds so I could take pictures like this!
If this is not a marvel I'm suddenly blind.
What a exceptionally beautiful image !!
This superb image probably has a special magnetism: I cannot stop to look it.
Bravo!
Wow...
