I guess he is angry and sad both....A very deep looking feeling..Nice capture...

Great image... very upsetting.....

Great shot!!!

good capture........but, because of the bush in the fg, it centres more on this than on the climber.

good one!

DOF....the guy is out of focus and the bush is in focus....otherwise a nice snap...

Thank you for the comments. I really don't think the climber must be the sole focus to convey the idea of this challenge. I realize the climber is out of focus. That was intentional. The DOF in this photo creates a different and more interesting shot than just a plain "hey look at the climber climbing ice." Photography IMHO is an art form...not merely point and shoot.

\Author, you shouldn't submit similar entries. You are no longer anonymous. I think your next entry is a better shot. This one the climber is out of focus.

actually, rather like this one...however, jawshoewhah is correct...submitting such simular entries removes the anonimity of the entry...

might have been better if the guy in the front of the shot was not there, or you had shot it a little earlier.

this is so cool!

I think this has been used before, was it BC

I think I saw it too... May be in clock contest?

bravo

very interesting piece...nicely done
