I've already ordered a saturation knob that goes too 11.

Jack, you need to spend an evening or three viewing the Most Popular
images on Flickr and 500px. That will desensitize your eyes and soon
you'll be dialing-up the old saturation knob to levels you never
thought possible. :-)

I didn't read the comments regarding the taking of this image, but I agree it's
the best I've seen of his work.
I doubt, however, I'd have ever allowed myself to saturate the colors to that
extent. Almost certainly my financial loss, in this case.

I must admit, I really like this one. It's the best by far that I've seen of
his work (admittedly I've not seen much).
But OMG his description of how he took it! Gimme a break!
BTW, interesting to note that Gursky's Rhine II which is the current record
holder for most expensive photograph was sold on the secondary market. Gursky
didn't make that money, the print's owner did. In Lik's case he was the seller
so the million went into his pocket.
Cheers,
frank

A whlie back I becames aware that he had sold a photograph of his for $ 1
million. This link http://www.artdaily.com/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=44121
mentions it but I couldn't find an internet link to the image itself. It was
a very well executed image, but $1 million ?

I had never heard of him until a recent series about his photographic
trips
on the Weather channel.
He comes across as bigger than life, a little too aninmated but I think
his
photos speak for them self.

I hadn't heard of him until now. A look at his online gallery left me
with mixed feelings, but more positive than negative. I saw some that
didn't excite me but overall I thought it was pretty decent, and there
were some I thought were excellent. While it looked like saturation
was boosted I didn't find it excessively so in most cases.

There's an image of it here:
http://www.petapixel.com/2011/01/13/australian-landscape-photographer-peter-lik-sells-photo-for-1-million/
It's a nice image but the selling price says more about the buyer than
it does about the photograph.

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
