 My very first submission to DPChallenge so i'm not expecting much more than a few suggestions on how this shot could be improved. It was a blustery overcast day and my girlfriend was struggling with the long climb to the top of Mam Tor in the Peak District. If she could have quit I think she would have. :-)

Good first attempt Bill, and I have to say anyone who has walked up Mam Tor will make the connection with the "I Quit" challenge eh lol
Good luck with the next one.

Really pleased with 16th place, although the low number of entries probably helped :-).

Darn good showing for your first challenge, especially with so many feeling it did not meet the topic. If this represents your usual stuff, you will be coming in at the top end of challenges shortly.

Very good B&W photo and I really like how the stones lead me right to your subject. Unfortunately it DNMC, IMO.

Good image, although I get the impression of someone going to the top without quitting.

Like the shot, though it does not look like a case of quitting. Just the opposite, in fact.

Subject is proceeding - so the quit part? Nice pic though..

Is this showing how not to quit? It's a nice picture. I like the crop a lot. I don't think you could have asked for a better sky either. Good work!
