I was tempted to clone out the man on the rock then I remembered he was a photographer so I left him:) I think he gives some perspective to the vastness of the landscape. Lake Tekapo, New Zealand with Canon EOS 450D. Thanks for viewing, comments most appreciated.

Come, my friends,
'tis not too late to seek a new world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite the sounding furrows; for my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset, and the baths of all western stars, until I die.
Tennyson, "Ulysses"
What a Vista!!.
This would look really terrific enlarged and used for a wall mural!!!
Excellent work my dear!

Excellent work here Lyn. So glad you did not crop out the man too. Really puts everything in its proper place.

Oh no Lyn, the man gives scale to this huge vista. This is a landscape and a half! A fabulous shot, you are so lucky Lyn living somewhere like this. Although I realise it can't compete with Smithdown Road on a Saturday night but it comes close!

Why not live a little and look at My Gallery.
a wise decision to let the man in the picture. The smaller he is, the more impressive your image.
Great post Lyn!.

sorry if i don't comment on each of your pictures. to those of you who comment so often, i can't imagine how you get it done! i for one am always extremely grateful for the kind comments and suggestions that you make.
Please Visit My Gallery
I'd say you made a wise choice in leaving him there. The photo becomes a thousand times more impressive for it. An outstanding photograph, Eve.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
A very impressive image Lyn. Looks like the Canon is working out very well for you. Great post

After 50 years of photography I shoot for memories not perfection

I love the feeling of scale his presence lends the work. Great composition.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
What a very rugged and remote looking place With the snowy mountains and forbidding sky. The green hue of the lake adds a color contrast and the man standing on the large rock gives something to focus on by showing how large the area is.
Truly special Lyn!

I wonder if there are any other pristine places on earth like this that are accessible. You've certainly brought this one to us with excellent quality and good judgment!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Good decision to leave in the photographer, he really brings out the vastness of this beautiful shot. Really gorgeous shot. Fav'd (you are filling up my fav folder, lol!)

I'm glad you left him - it really shows how vast and lovely that scene is!

Wow, amazing capture and those snowy mountains are fantastic. Lovely capture and aptly named - this does really show our almost insignificance but also the beauty of the world we live in. Well done!

What an amazing landscape. I must admit that the title had me wondering..... You were right to leave him in, really gives a sense of scale to the landscape LE.
