Ahhh, Mark
I see you have found an appropriate throne room. If you had given a little more room at the bottom I would had room to repeat the time worn phrase having no side kick like Garth it would have to be singular. " I'm not worthy...." . Or maybe it's the temple's entrance, the temple of Photos god of light and ( he or she ) has blessed you with great gifts ( based on your recent posts ). But I digress and I will " seriously" state . Nice portrait, and nice to meet you.
Paul

Thanks Ed.
Paul, you sure have a way with words! Yes, I think a photo should have impact, so that's what the goal was here too. I have tried a lot of self portraits over the years but when I did this one the other day I really felt like it would have immediate impact. The Canon 14mm L2 sitting on the ground really helps the viewer see better how enormous these balancing rocks are and how almost unbelievable it is that they are still standing (and maybe how entirely stupid it is to get underneath them!). Thanks!

Dude, all you needs is a cowboy hat and I might have mistaken you for Mr Lik Sweet portrait!

Floris, being in this town for as long as I have now I don't find that a compliment! LOL.

You should have posed like "Arnold" from back in the "Mr Universe" contests, like you were holding that rock ball over your head

Hey Mark, I hope that rock doesn't decide to become "unbalanced"! Nice to see you - keep those great images coming!

Never noticed this one before -- I quite like it! Very creative and compelling, yet whimsical and fun. A fine self portrait.
