Nice shot...you can clearly see where it's masked though...it's not horrible, but it's not a 10...very nice though.

at first i didn't like how the composition was perfectly split between rock and clouds, but the more i look the more i'm warming up to their strange juxtaposition. very vibrant. I do wish the subject was a bit more visible.

I like the shot, but the halo around the rocks between the sky is a bit distracting to me. The silhouette of the man is a nice touch.

the mountain shows alot of prossessing done to it seperate ofthe sky u should've feathered some with the editing to make a more natural blend.

looks very prossesed shows it to much. good luck though

where's Waldo ?

great image, could do with a slight crop, just to get the man on the "rule of thirds" seems important to most DPC'ers.

I like the composition and the image quality is lovely. If it hadn't been for the title I would not have realized there was a person in the shot. He is just to small to make any sort of impact in the composition. To me, even knowing he is there, he just looks like an rock. It almost would have been better to clone him out of the shot, IMO.

Seems a little unrealistice.. or hyper-realistic. Just a little too much for me on an otherwise great photo.

I like the detail and contrast in the sky but the rock face looks a bit dull in comparision. Also the edges where it meets the sky looks unusually dark. Was that due to exposure fixes you made with the foreground/background?

Love the concept of this photo. Wish the man stood out a little more, but to gain the sense of perspective displayed in this photo I understand why the crop isn't tighter on him.

I have to be honest with you ... I was prepared to give this a very good rating and just as I moved my mouse down to the rating line on the page, I caught the title ... and then I relooked to try and find the man. I honestly didn't see the man before seeing the title and I looked for about 20 seconds before moving the mouse down.

Now THIS is good. Really beautiful sky and the colors are spectacular. I love the single guy up there - you'd almost miss him if the title didn't draw you to it. Very well done!! 9
