Fantastic: this image os not rotated as can be observed by the hanging equipment. What an image.

that could be dangerous. I like the lines of the rock and the lines of the body, good set up.
Post actions
Great shot, but needs contrast.
Post actions
Great concept and a good shot. All that gear, but no rope???

Wow, you are brave. Hubby wants to know where is this bouldering location?
Post actions
Of all the sports to participate in while naked, this seems like one of the less pleasant options. The monochrome does a nice job of highlighting the texture differences, but it would benefit from adjusting the curves / contrast.

As a past climber, I can honestly say I wouldn't try this on a real rock. Oh the potential chaffing...
Post actions
I love the angle of this one, also the tonal threatment, makes he look part of the mountain. good work 7
Post actions
Fun shot. A little too dark, but very original.
Post actions
so thats how those holes were made! ;-)

the man curvers in good with the rock
Post actions
Well, I could say something about his body parts and the hard rocks, but i will not. It is an interesting study.
Post actions
Very creative. I like this, but I hope your model didn't get hurt doing this shot.
Post actions
I guess when you go rock climbing you need to hang on with everything you have...
Post actions
stuck between a rock...and well...nevermind...
Post actions
Ahhhhh I can imagine the chaffing going on *shudders*
Post actions
Techincally this seems muddy to me. Compositionally outstanding, conceptually intriguing. Good entry!
Post actions
II felt a little more contrast would help but overall a good photo and probably very hard to get photo. Hats off the you for getting it.
Post actions
I like the way the model's body and positioning echo the curve of the rock face.
Post actions
I like the tones and lighting. I particularly like the way the climber, along with his climbing implements, blends in the wall. Very nicely done.
Post actions
I like the non sequitur. Bumping to a 7. The design of the rock is nice too.
Post actions
Wow... not scared something will get scraped, I suppose!
Post actions
Brave.

i cant believe someone went rockclimbing in the nud! Wouldn't the harness ride up .... Not the most poetic nude, but definatley one to make you look twice.
Post actions
What a challenging image to look at. I think I am getting vertigo. My only suggestion would have been a bit more contrast.
Post actions
Daring (obviously) and somewhat interesting. a little dark maybe - he kinda blends right into the rock. Good effort and it will probably do well.

I like the composition, and the braveness of both the model, and the photographer, and i know I'll not see too many images like this in my life. But it's very grey, not alot of contrast.
Post actions
Looks like there could be painful possibilities here!

lol....all I can think of is the Tom Petty song....."fffreeee bbaalllllliiinnn'" Sorry, just had to share :)
Post actions
winner! even though it's not a woman :)
Post actions
this shot seems a tad out of focus to me, sorry
Post actions
Post actions
My goodness, that is one gutsy climber, how'd you work it out so nobody would be around?
Post actions
Oooo. That looks like a VERY uncomfortable way to wear the harness!! :) This is a very adventuresome pic. I like the way the muscles seem to echo the structure of the rock.
Post actions
Interesting idea, and I love the camera angle of this shot. Not crazy about the color selection...seems like something colder might have been better. <7>
Post actions
Do they do this naked LOL??? A bit more contrast maybe? Great shot good luck.

Wish the tones were a little better in this. The man almost disappears into the cliff due to the lack of contrast. However, I will give oyu kudos for getting someone to do it and being there to get a picture of it. Composition is good, lighting not so good. POV is excellent. 7 - good luck in the challenge!

I like the idea and the use of the diagonal in this shot. The rock looks very busy and seems to compete for attention with the subject a little.
Post actions
nice idea, background and body blend too much though.
Post actions
Post actions
that could hurt - you certainly dont want to get hung up!
Post actions
Very creative shot, your subject is brave, doing that in his birthday suite!
Post actions
alittle more contrast would have helped this.
Post actions
Post actions
tonal range in the shot could have been better.. i think you have have used dodge/burn to make the guy stand out more against the rocks, right now he seems to be blending in. Another thought could have been to keep this in color perhaps.
