Larry Fosse pointed this photo-journalistic gem out to me, and all I can say is WOW! This is an extraordinary shot. The spectrum of emotion on their faces and body language is incredible. I don't think you could have composed it better...IMHO! Regarding a matter of luck...Luck is when you capture a lightning bolt at 1/125 of a second while shooting a landscape, not when you see a [moment in time], then document it for the world to see... Very, Very Nice!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work!
Cheers,
Bill

George ...I took a look at this a while before reading your comments thinking how incredibly powerful and sad...I could write a review and never come close to what you've written....your critique is of equal quality to the photo...certainly heartfelt work

I understand your feelings about the picture, but for any photographer who does not control the situation, luck--if that's what you call it--is always a factor. There were probably several other people on the scene at the same time as you, but the truth is, you are the one who got the picture. And most professional photographers I have known would say that one good picture per roll is pretty darn' good! --g

Thanks, George, for these kind words. I have to acknowledge though, that this shot owns as much to good fortune as to skills. It was actally the only good shot on this roll of film. Still, I feel honored by your compliments. Thanks again. J.

This is truly an extraordinary photo, a complex and sophisticated piece of photo-journalism. It ranks with the best of such contemporary documents. The setting is astonishing, of course, but it is the people and the composition that elevate the picture. It would be marvelous if only for the fellows in the foreground, but the two people climbing the ropes and those on the ledge above are powerful social and artistic elements well beyond the conventional. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST! Thank you . . .
Regards,
--George
