Do you believe I risked life and limb to get this shot? Perhaps, perhaps not:) The quality was very poor so I have tried to fix it up a bit in PSP as I thought it was a nice view. . .Panasonic DMC-FZ7.. Thank you for taking a look.Any comments are most welcome and always appreciated.

Not that I would want anything to happed to you, but the risk was worth the final result. I get the feeling I'm hanging from your outside mirror. Love the perspective and moody colors. Hope you stopped when you took this. Great.

Standing on top of a tractor cab is such great fun, isn't it? Er... maybe not! Great shot Lyn, with some stunning colours.

It does look manip'd in some fashion, but it's really a beautiful shot. I like how the water and road seem to converge. This is really nice, almost like a postcard.

You have fixed it up very well, Lyn. It is a breath taking view and the curve ahead looks rather tricky. The presentation is wonderful too.

I disagree with the comments which say the risk was worth the final result. Dear Eve we don't want you to get hurt, or loose you; your life is much more precious to us than any even the geatest picture, so be more careful next time. Thank you anyway for your great effort.

It's a great view and you're a great fixer upper. I like the frame a lot too. Yes, I believe you had a struggle to get this shot so close to that precipice.

like the frame within a frame recession which accentuates the path of the road into the distance,simon.

Wow! That's pretty, but it looks like it would be easy to drift right off the roadside. Very nicely presented Eve! =)
