All fantasies begin in your imagination. Watching this kid climbing this rock wall and had the determination as if he was climbing K2. I cropped and adjusted levels, brightness contrast and a little saturation. Saved for web and here it is. I hope the theme police get this

By looking at your portfolio, I definitely see that you know how to take a photo. I don't agree with some of these comments, that you just "stuck" a photo in here and gave it a name. That's not fair to you. I see where you were coming from. Don't let your low score get you down. Mine didn't do too hot either. :)

I love the fact that you caught him reaching for his next grasp. I agree with stdavidson, that setting a black point and then adjusting levels would have made a difference. Unfortunately, I think it was the photos content that got you the low score.

Good luck!

i dont like this picture, it looks like you just took a photo and added a name to make it seem like a fantasy

Doesn't seem to tie to the fantasy world theme very well in my opinion - 5

Good capture and decent quality photograph. Well composed with eye appealing colors.

Some reviewers will view this as a 'kid' picture more than a fantasy world and score it lower.

The image is a little on the low contrast side. It does not appear to have a proper black point set. Adjusting that will give the image more 'pop'. The clouds on the lower left are overexposed.

I'm sure I'm not the first to say that this really doesn't say, "Fantasy World" to me. Sorry.

Not sure about relevance to the theme?

Just don't think this is really in the spirit of the challenge unless you are the one on the wall.
