 With 10 mins to go before rollover I decided to enter this. It might look like an optical illusion but our son did actually climb this rockface. He was trudging through the snow and then we lost track of him, we were at least 400m away. I told my husband "I wonder if he's climbing the rock" We figured that's exactly what he was doing - I started to freak out a little as he didn't have proper climbing
shoes. So we started calling out to him to come back. But both our sons couldn't hear us, well I think that was the case. (You can see our younger son to the right) My husband then proceeded to go and save him. At the end of the day he didn't need saving, just wanted an adventure!

For me, the background is very distracting. A tight crop around the rock might have been a better.
