In rock climbing you aspire to reach the top. I didn't intend to enter the contest with this photo, however I think it fits. Thanks for looking.

This Photo is very musical for me! Lines from songs are floating through my head as I view it..."Climb, Ev'ry mountain..." & "Ain't no mountain high enough..." (I'm just a kid from the '60s & '70s.)

Nice photo, but I think it is a little dark and tonally nondescript. Yet depending on "personal internal presets", someone else may see amazement in the desat environment...since this does minimize the human element. Just a matter of taste! :)

A bit dark on this monitor

Love the composition. The image needs adjustment: levels and exposure.
11/20/2007 01:14:37 PM
very cool perspective - i just wish the image was a bit better illuminated
11/20/2007 10:36:52 AM
Way too dark. You should learn how to adjust curves or even the brightness control.
11/20/2007 02:08:33 AM
Nice viewpoint, but it's too dark for my taste

Poor try at an idea that could have lead to something ore interesting had you brinstormed a while longer. the bad light and poor focus downgrade it.
11/17/2007 06:43:37 PM
Nice composition.
Perhaps watch your levels (seems to need more white clip) & exposure
11/16/2007 01:41:15 PM
Ok, I get what you mean but the lighting is flat. The colors are dull.

However, the angle makes me wonder where you are positioned.
11/16/2007 01:36:09 PM
This image is very dark and flat. The angle is the only thing that takes away the 'top'. I would have liked to see some more contrast and levels here to really make this pop out.
11/16/2007 12:27:09 PM
great perspective, but a little dark
11/16/2007 06:49:02 AM
This is an interesting photo but desperately needs more light.
11/16/2007 01:54:55 AM
A little more exposure on this would be nicer. It looks like there are people in this one too. ;) Oooops, never mind somebody said Peeps are ok. LOL
11/15/2007 09:13:30 PM
Seems a little underexposed. Nice point of view though.
11/15/2007 04:13:18 PM
just too dark
11/15/2007 12:28:55 PM
A bit dark for my taste - 5
11/15/2007 05:59:05 AM
So badly under-exposed as to be faintly absurd.
11/15/2007 03:35:49 AM
Very dark...
11/14/2007 06:57:07 PM
This looks a lot like island rock on Long island. Where is it?....

as for the photo. Interesting idea (I climb a lot), but it's obvious that he needs to come in left hand for the match, match left foot, flag out left, gaston to the crimp

oh oh the photo-

underexposed and flat. bump those levels and use that contrast slider!
11/14/2007 04:22:26 PM
Oh, brighter would've been better! Nice concept.
11/14/2007 04:12:42 PM
Without the title I would not have seen this shot a topless. It's an interesting take on the challenge. I like the composition of the image but it seems rather dark on my monitor.
11/14/2007 03:52:53 PM
a bit too dark
11/14/2007 10:17:20 AM
Too dark for me.
11/14/2007 08:16:41 AM
with no people, i know they meant nudity, but isnt the peron here the main focus of this photo anyway...
11/14/2007 02:11:27 AM
Real big stretch to meet the challenge. In fact, I don't really thing it does at all. Sorry.
