Those people certainly do appear quite small compared to the vastness and the mountains beyond them; sort of puts us in our place, doesn't it? I like your placement of the people in the bottom left corner and the mountain in the top right corner with the ocean of clouds between them. Looks like an amazing place to be!

Wow... that's cool Robert. Which peak is the distant one? Being above the clouds is great, and the hikers/climbers here really are a great add.

The peak in the distance is Mt. Adams, an imposing cinder cone in its own right.

Albert, this was shot using a moderate telephoto, a 105mm probably. I am behind the camera. The people are hundreds of yards away. The bottom below the clouds is about 9,000 feet down I would guess, not too far above sea level.
