Like many Sundays I am posting an image that dovetails with this past Friday’s topic on negative space. This is not a particularly great photo but it certainly draws your eye. It’s also a reminder to myself that I do not include enough negative space in my people pictures. In this picture the negative space is perfectly placed in the upper left quadrant.
A friend of mine brought his girlfriend along on a hike high up on Mount Hood and she turned out to be a mountain goat, totally fearless. And it’s not like she’s particularly young (hope she’s not reading this!). I used to have similar inclinations, but I’ve certainly mellowed. Here she simply wanted to perch somewhere with a good view of Hood. She seemed so relaxed up there, which you absolutely need to be in order to do it safely. It made me very nervous! I hope your weekend is going well.
What an amazing shot!..Can only imagine the feeling she must get when reaching that height!
Wow! I would love to be in her place. Though I am not half as fit as her 😦 She’s awesome… and so is this pic.
Yes she is. I want to follow her around with a rope! Thanks a lot!
Stunning shot – perfectly fearless!
I am in awe! 🙂
What a well captured photograph 🙂 I really like it.
Have a happy week

Great shot, MJF!
Thank you Amy!
Amazing – a very well captured photo… 🙂
What an awesome shot!
Wonderful photo, and the girl is very brave!! Am enjoying your articles. So glad we met here. 🙂
I would have been fearful for her as well. I bet she was not graceful getting down. 🙂
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Haha, but she didn’t come down. She went the OTHER way, along the ridge. And very gracefully. Us two guys went around the knife-edge part.
Catching the moment is so often better than trying to make it. That really grabs your attention.
Boy is that ever the truth!
Makes me nervous too! What a great shot though. 🙂
That is a feast for the eyes!
Cool shot. Is that Hood and Adams in the background?

Thanks! No that’s Rainier and Adams, L-R.
I read your intro afterwards. Great shots anyway.
Yikes!
totally awesome picture!
Thanks Rob!
Is that a tense muscle in her leg or are her legs muscular? It would have made me nervous to watch her. On the other hand, you realized a moment that surely draws people into the frame.
She’s a wiry one! Thanks.
Delightful post, and photo!
Thank you!!
