I like the use of vertical pano and the negative space on the left side. It give a real feeling of height.

Jim,
Very interesting concept and presentation. I would actually like to hear more about your intention with this image. Bruce mentioned the negative space which is what I was thinking of because more space has been given to the foggy mist than the cliff. Clearly the height is emphasized here with the vertical pano, but you've chosen not to show us much more of the cliff. I'm just a little torn with this one.

I appreciate the uncertainty in the picture - the composition ist perfectly balanced with tremendous suspense.

I like the crop here, but would have wishes for less overlapping of the layers.

Thanks for all your feedbacks.
Lon, I wanted viewers to focus on the edges the cliff and provide sense of sheer vertical drop. If more of the cliff was included, I felt this may redirect some of the attention away and there is no additive composition element. In addition, I wanted to keep composition at minimum.
Andreas, can you expand on using less overlapping of layers? Thanks.
