The photo itself is great. Good lighting, composition and DOF. Your border is distracting and slightly hurting the photo.

Oh I love the way he pops out from the background, how do you do that?

The slight haloing detracts a little but a good and interesting shot nonetheless.

Lots of character and nice definition in the background. Gutsy landscape mode for a portrait. This looks like a certain picture of Salvador Dali.

Comment by Lutchenko:
excellent shot and in my opinion you stopped just on the edge of going to far with the processing on his face

Comment by AP:
the perspective makes the human figure dwarfed by the power of nature, very cool shot. I have this lens and am surprised to not see distortion!

Congrats. I loved this shot during voting and am honored that you finished right next to my shot.
Love your info on all the chaos happening during the shooting.

PS: one of the things that I most valued from design classes was making sure that you have the "popping" color in three places (minimum of) to make the eye pop from spot to spot. The gorgeous orange did that beautifully in your gem.
