There's always a sceptic.

But from what I know based on watching Kris and his videos, he's one of
the few guys that will never need Photoshop to "help" his pictures.

That is one awesome shot!

Should we call you Krazy Kris now?

From the shadows of the electrical transmission towers he should be
illuminated. This is photoshopped.

It looks to me like the electric towers have very small shadows, and
that the sun is close to being directly overhead. That means he will be
mostly in shadow, as shown. The sun is shining on his arm, helmet, etc.
Consistent with most of my Moab shots. For him to be illuminated a lot,
it would have to be near sunrise or sunset, especially with a helmet
with visor.

Why would Kris Holm need to try to fool us with fake pictures? If
someone else were offering it up I would be more skeptical (spelled
right this time, and better smelling!)

It's not photoshopped.

However, it was way safer than it looks. The top of the overhang is a
broad platform and I just jumped up into the air.

The telephoto lense makes it look a lot closer than it actually was, and
I would have had to fallen at least 5 feet sideways to go off the edge.
Believe me, I didn't plan on doing that!

Awesome photo Kris!! For any Edward Abbey fans out there, his memorial
in 87'? was held a couple of miles up that dirt road that winds away
from Kris towards Arches. It was located at one of his favorite spots in
Arches, away from ALL the crowds and paved roads which have ruined
Arches.

Oh well; if you had a whole five feet before plunging hundreds of feet
down , I guess we could all do that (yeah right).... Awesome as always

Great Picture! One question, has your wife seen it?

Second... big deal for a world class unicyclist. Try this when you can
barely idle. I almost had to have my shorts changed after this photo.
For a good unicyclist this would have been easy. For me it was death
defying!😄

The stupid things we do for the sake of art. And no this was not photo
shopped as my wife will gladly confirm. Dirrect qoute from my dad after
seeing the picture "He has always had more balls than brains, and he is
pretty smart.":eek:
