I have to agree.  this is a beautiful picture specially the side lighting
that cast the rock give it a depth perspective.
it worth to waste a lot of film this way.  not for me since i still learning
so waste film ain't option in my case

That's the whole point, though, isn't it? If you only take two frames and
don't get a good result, then that's a waste of film, but if you shoot two
rolls and get an excellent result, then that's the correct use of film. No
waste.

Anyway, don't want to sound lke an obsessive on this issue, but it's amazing
how people like to snipe at the working methods and photography of one of
the very few remaining photography-oriented general interest magazines
around who still have the clout and money to do a good job of it, and who
employ the best talent in the field. If only there were more like them.

BTW - nice picture, I agree, lovely colour.
