Taken on the same hike as my "Headlines" entry.
This is RianBotes standing at the head of the Tuthumi pass in the Drakensberg mountains in South Africa at nearly 3000 m.a.s.l.
Shot taken after almost 2 days of constant rain - 1 of which kept us tent bound for a whole day.
Really was an awesome hike for 5 nights with some great guys - 5 in total.

Wow now that is what it feels like to be 'on top of the world'! The majesty of the mountains and the being above the cloud deck looks to be both an exhilarating and humbling experience at the same time. Capturing the person in the shot adds a human experience to the landscape and gives it a sense of scale.
Fabulous shot Steven? I say that now because I think the hooded hiker is actually Rian :) Very unusual to see it in B&W and a risky choice. The composition is excellent.
