At the edge of Table Mountain, Cape Town , a Salesman sells the joys of Abseilling down 1000 metres- a nightmare for anyone with a fear of heights and yet he is sitting with his back to an abyss quite unconcerned at the bemused onlookers.

The idea is great, but this doesn't look like much more than just a holiday snap. Could you have waited for people to get out of the way? I dig the sign though, an important part of the picture. :-)
unable to really judge how high up you really are - I don't suffer from this so not really sure if clarity on how high you are really matters - however I don't get "fear" out of this since I can't see what the actual fear is, make sense?
meeting challenge = 3. This would have been better if there were more perspective on the height. photo quality = 3. would have been nice if the woman did not have her back turned - or if she were closer to the wall looking over. total = 6
The sign suggests there is something to be afraid of here, but I have no idea what. The dismembered arm on the left hurt a bit. Cropping could have made this a better shot, but unless you know what Absril Africa is, it's not going to meet the challenge for me. On a side note, I like the red hair against the blue sea.
The woman is really distracting. I think your best bet here would have been to get a shot of the man sitting down from a high angle so you could see the drop below him better. This just looks like a family vacation photo.
Hmm...not sure what Abseil is. The water is pretty beautiful though. Not sure what the people are doing, they don't really look all that scared, so I think just the sign with the wall and the water would have been a whole lot more effective.
I don't get it, I do but I don't. I see happy people hanging out on a viewpoint. Is this a fear of heights? I would crop down to remove the overexposed sky and crop from the right to remove what I think is hair or a thumb? How about seeing what is slightly insane. kris
