Alberto Gnerro (one of the best italian climbers //www.doctorgnerro.it) on a hard route on Aosta Valley (Revers - Italy). This photo is the best of a project about post processing using Linux tools. Only desaturation and level adjustments, no crop. I like this photo because the focus on the climber fallow exactly the intensity of pressure that makes on the holds, on the right hand he had the better one that keeps him in CONTACT width the wall ... that hold makes the difference between solving the problem or be defeated by the gravity ...

nice angle, I need to see a face to get a hint of emotion, great texture, good light, nice dor, b&w great, great movement, great lines, overall a good job
nice angle but maybe not the most interesting of shots. i think had the person been looking at the camera and the focus had been o her face, it would have worked better.
Simply beautiful! Congratulations on this great capture. I wish you good luck, and a top 50 finish! (An improvement would be to have the climber look up - no need to smile, of course, muscle tension on the face would have been even better. Go back now and tell him to climb again, look up and say cheese:-)
I really like the composition and the creative use of the depth of field. Most people would probably focus on the persons head, rather than the handhold on the rock. Very interesting perspective too. Nice job.
