a great and very impressive capture of the two people crossing the rope bridge; not sure that I would follow them: good idea to include the flowers in the foreground;

    Thanks Fred it was pretty scary going across but travel of nearly 17,000 km to see this area I decided to psych myself up and do it :)

A very good looking photo posted here of this grand and famous location! We only got round to there in 2017. Your lovely composition does full justice to that lovely and dramatic location. Nicely done!

cool capture. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this bridge, greenery and water is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

I don't think I would like to walk that bridge at all, because I believe it is not very steady. It looks great though, and I really like your point of view. Not only because of the placement of the bridge in the photo, but also because it has enabled you to include a truly lovely foreground with the thistles.

The photo is sharp all the way through, and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen in the bridge. The exposure is spot on, and I appreciate the nice and natural colors.

The cropping is nicely done, and I think it is a very good balance in the composition. I think this is a truly great looking, lovely and well taken photo Mary, and with an excellent DOF.

    Thanks Annie - I am totally afraid of heights but psyched myself up for the crossing as we had traveled nearly 17,000 km to see it :)

Great photograph of this bridge that is attracting visitors in large numbers - until it closed down. Wonderful composition, balance between natural colors and details that worked into a beautiful presentation!

A wonderful landscape scene taken from an interesting perspective. Great story telling with lots of aspects; with the amazing Rope Bridge and people waiting and walking on it (can image it was a bit scary), great cliff face and I really like the flowers and grassy area in the foreground. Lovely clear image and colours appear natural in the light. Wonderfully captured Mary and a great experience all those years ago!

Oh my goodness! There is no way that I would walk on that rope bridge, I am afraid of heights ! You have captured this well allowing a good look at the bridge and the landscape, the two people give scale and bring life to this scene.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, the colors and tones appear true and natural. Well composed and presented!

    Thanks Pat - I am also afraid of heights but had psyched myself up on drive there after traveling nearly 17,000km to see it - only problem was they told me I had to go back that way as well and I hadn't prepared for that but did manage.

A beautiful that is very well cropped. The depth of field is excellent and I like the purple thistles in the foreground. A fine perspective on the bridge and the rocky coastline.

I am getting dizzy just looking at the bridge. I would not climb that formation, neither walk that bridge.
Nevertheless, the landscape is interesting. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I like the grass and wildflowers in the foreground. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The landscape is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.
