Beautiful spot, but I feel a bit dizzy. Its hard to "feel" the horizon and
so the image to a person who does not recognize the scene looks oblique. I
would feel better with a slightly wider view to give a sense of "place",
but you may want to use that unsteady slope feeling for that very effect:
still a lovely image.
