I would say this is looking across not down.

I was taken from the highest point in the country.

Very nice

I like it

I would say that's quite the steep hill, looking down

agrees with Ade.

Very pretty. Where is it?

This is taken in the Mourne mountains, the highest point in Ulster/N.Ireland.

Nice shot..

Oh wow, this is a really nice capture =)

That really is looking DOWN

Nice view

This would be a wonderful shot, if it was sharp.

That cable really draws me into this picture very nice!

Thanks for your feedback. I chose this shot out of another with a focused background, because I felt with this one, with it focused on the rope, it gave more of a sense of the rope pulling you down. I urge you all to look at the High Reolution to get a better feel of the area where it is focused.

I did look at the High Res before my first comment, and still feel it needs a deeper DOF.

The ONLY thing in focus is the rope. Wish it lead to a more interesting shot.

i am about the same as you...have fun rather be serious .Then, I increasingly become more serious...LOL!
