Shows how high those mountains are.

The boat is sort of lost with its placement at the very bottom. A little wider perspective would bring it to the prominence it needs.

I believe the boat shows just how large the cliffs are and how puny man-made things are by comparison.

Agreed James, but I didn’t have a lens with me that would achieve a much wider perspective and still deliver the Concept I was looking for. This was taken with one of my walkabout EF100-400mm L IS II lenses set at 220mm, in an attempt to show how a typical fjord in Norway dwarfs everything man-made.
I was standing high on the stern of QM2 when I took this shot, so I’m pleased that (a) my attempts to stay still while shooting hand-held and the IS combined together to produce this relatively sharp shot, and (b) that I managed to close on my Concept with relatively little post-cropping. If I had taken a wider lens with me, I probably could have closed on a more traditional landscape shot and still achieved that “wow, that is high!” Perspective... but I “did the best I could, with what I had, where I was, at that time.”
