Capo Rosso, Corsica, sitting on the edge of the cliff.

Makes my altimeter pucker just looking at it. I can fly a plane but I can't do this! Very nice place too.

I like the idea, but see bit too many things I could change for it to be more than 1TU. I like the composition, the forethought and the colors. I do think that there's too much contrast applied, the photo looks quite abstract because the feet seem so much higher than where you'd expect the coast to be at that point (ground elevation - one need to think if the coast elevates so much, so quickly). Photo seems a bit washed out too. Finally, although very skilled, feet seem photoshoped in. If not, then it feels like this was an incredibly dangerous photo :) Well done!

Feet are certainly not photoshopped in; we were simply sitting on the edge of a 350 meter high cliff (Capo Rosso, Corsica). I actually did not change the contrast at all.
This came straight from the camera, with 3 actions in photoshop: cropping/resizing, color saturation boosting, and sharpening.

It's a pity that, with all those photoshop tricks floating around, people immediatly think that a picture like this is a staged and composed...

Vertigo :) Very creative idea. Even without this creativity, the coast had been brilliantly photographed. The greens and blues are stunning. I wish the left feet were also a bit behind and gave the feeling of edge as the other couple were giving. Thanks for a different and nice photo.
