very nicely observed. it's amazing how much an impact just having a simple person in the composition can make on an image. it gives it context, perspective. it gives us something to connect to, that keeps it from being just another boring shot.
I really, really want to be there right now! Nice job on capturing the unique texture of the rock striations. I am sure the harsh lighting conditions made this difficult. Nice job.
The rock formation is almost like a frozen wave, about to overwhelm this guy, or some neolithic monster petrified in its moment of grasping; and yet its a serene moment too, of gentle water. I really think I might have cropped out that tiny bit of sky, myself, however.
