ran across an old photo of mine from a year ago. does this work for you? i think my photo technique has improved a lot over this past year, but i still always thought it was a cool pic...

that's a cool picture, though for some reason I keep thinking "Strongbad" when I see your hands.

Flip it horizontally and add some text and it looks like one of those executive motivational poster =)

(despite the fact that I think those posters are stupid that was meant as a compliment to the near professionalism of the shot)

would make a good ad for Prana.

Great shot. Love the angle.

Oh. I love rockclimbing ..

Looking forward to some outdoorsclimbing in the summer.

The picture has a nice caption, and is techincally very good. The chalk powder spray is a really nice detail. But I think the rock face is maybe a bit boring. Would've been great if you saw another climber further up or maybe some sky. To late for that now, but .. imo that's what it needs to go from a good photo to a great one.

Oh, man, that looks nice. I agree with shrubbery, the chalk spray looks awesome. Brings back some good memories of climbing with friends. I can already smell it, feel it on my hands...

Do you have a larger version available?

That is a great pic! The chalk spraying really gives it a lot of depth and an interesting twist on the usual pictures you see of climbers.

While I've not done much climbing myself, I can certainly appreciate the hobby/sport of it.

Was that pic taken high up off the ground? It seems as though it would be difficult to take good pics whilest hanging in your harness.

That picture captures more than just tthat moment. It conveys motion and determination.
