Won't enter this into the photo comp, but post it anyway to show how height perspective can influence a photo.
I concur that Elinda's photo is great, and I love the mist hanging around the little berg base below the escarpment. She most likely took this photo a couple of minutes after saying hello to us who were playing at the bridge over the Delmhlwazini at Injasuthi Camp. It almost looks like it was taken whilst ascending the zigzags on that direct route access to Van Heynigens.
Here is the comparative photo I took from the Delmhlwazini riverbed near the camp.
The grassy knol in the left bottom of her pic, obscures the base of Champagne/Monks/Cathkin to a large extent in my pic and whilst a nice photo, just has nothing special going for it.
I also took some shots from the top of Van Heynigens later that same day, but being around noon it seems washed out by comparison.
As the old saying goes: Got to be at the right place at the right time (and have the knack of spotting it
)

Elinda could not escape the Monk this last w-end, it seemed to follow her everywhere
