Beautful light! The balance in this image feels perfect to me. I'd say you really made the most of the conditions.

It is a beauty of an image. Lovely tonality and depth.

What a landscape. The wall from this perspective almost gives me the unsettling feeling of a rollercoaster!

Very nicely done... beautiful, gentle light indeed.

I really like the perspective of this shot.Near and far. It is one of the most interesting photos I've seen of "the wall."

but where are all the tourists? ..... it's great perspective+composition, and nice soft light (early morning?) .....

This is the best image of the wall I've ever seen. I love this.

Great work Mark. You've used the haze well and set the whole thing up with the nearly symetrical, dark light foreground. I love the way the foreground falls away to leave a mystery about where the wall goes from there.

What time of the year was this taken and what is the location?

Matt.

The picture was taken at Simatai, 100 km northeast of Beijing, late afternoon around November 1. Obviously, there were other tourists. Not too many, so it was not too difficult leaving those out..
