Katahdin's Knife Edge

I caught this hiker on Katahdin's famed Knife Edge in ME. I like the scale from this angle and vantage point. Wish the hiker was a little more visible.

Harry, A lot of this image is in heavy shade. There is some nice color and contrast on the left side. I'd suggest a major crop, losing the right 40% or so, basically creating a vertical image.

I do see your point Brad. I figured there was plenty of detail in the shadows and it allows the viewer to see the ravines. I thought of composing a vertical with more sky, but I would have had to compromise the far right or far left.

I had a feeling you were keeping the right side for the ravines and sense of height. Not sure what else you could do.

I like the sense of scale the hiker adds to the image Harry. Mt Katahdin serves as a magnificent backdrop and I just love the rim light on the ridges.
