Gonna get hammered for DNMTC, but this is what moved me most in the 80's; the loss of Ansel. This image reminds me of him, how he looked standing apart and framing a shot, the wilderness around him.
Shot on an overcast early morning in 25+ mph wind and temperatures in the low 20's. Levels, gradations top and bottom, dodging in center, resize, border, USM.

First of all I want to congratulate you on a fine photo.
I really like your post processing here.
I understand that you knew Ansel, so I can understand your feelings about this.
But without your explanation, the real meaning doest “slap you in the face” as most DPC-ers want.
So I think that’s the reason why it scored only 50%.
Also remember that Ansel was/is very famous in the USA, but here in Europe he is not that known.
Nonetheless I like the image and the postprocessing an hope to see many more of you.
Too bad voters didn't have the benefit of your details so they could realize this for your personal take on the 80's. As always, well composed with the added human interest factor. The colors are even muted which goes along with the theme of your picture.
nice composition. since it was a momentous event, I would have liked to see a bit more contrast to add to the drama and showcase that hole in the clouds.
