Liechtensteinklamm

Finally I found some time to get out again after all the moving and packing.
Within two days I visited seven gorges here in Austria - six of them were new to me and each of them had their little surprises for me. All in all they are amongst the most beautiful in Austria and I will visit them again when I'm in that area.
The "Liechtensteinklamm" here is considered the most beautiful gorge of Austria - each year over 100.000 people come to see this lovely gorge. I was expecting much and was not overwhelmed to be honest. Don't get me wrong, it's an impressive place but not the best thing for photographers. As the canyon is very steep and narrow you have to stay on the bridges almost all of the time which limits your compositional flexibility and you almost always have the bridges themselves in the shot. This here is a great example. I was already on the other side of the railing on a little rock and the camera was over the edge as much as possible (the center of gravity of the tripod was very questionable). I took one shot without the bridge but the composition is out of balance like that so I had to get the bridge in there and this is as good as I got it. It definitely gives you an idea about the place and its accessibility. I hope you like it anyway.

Thanks for looking at this shot and maybe leaving a comment. I've uploaded a LARGER version if you want to see a bit more details.
