I really blew it on the background. I used the only flat whit thing I had (my room mates wrinkled white sheet. I didn't have any editing tools to help flatten out the background either.

Look at the distribution of your scores. This easily would have been at least a mid-5's picture if it were not for the background issues. So, now you've learned how not to do a background! Just on your own, you might re-try this shot with two pieces of white cardboard or tack board - one under and one vertical for the back. The back should be at least 12 inches from the back of the rocks. Don't know where you got the figures, but they add a TON to the shot. Tying the two together is just priceless - especially with the "effort" of the climber juxtapositioned with the la te da attitude of the sitter.
Judging by the number and content of comments you got, lots of folks enjoyed your picture. That should make you smile...

cute idea. too bad about the wrinkles in the background. I think a spotlight effect might have added some drama to this perilous situation :)

The rocks are well selected and the fibures make for an interesting pair, so extra point for creativity. Very much needs to have the fabric background stretched tight underneath and not rising up in back until much further behind the objects (eliminating the shadows).

If only you'd ironed the creases out of the background...

Funny. Cool concept. I wish you couldn't see the background though.
