 A gathering of Iceland´s best ice climbers, near my home, with a few visitors from Austria, including the World champion, seen in the picture. Interestingly, the world champion is a not so tall, light woman, not a "superman looking" guy as perhaps one may expect :)

Raw with a little tune, and a few minor color changes in ps.

Just incredible - the human form so tiny and fragile....in contrast to the power and majesty of nature.

that sure looks like some pretty tough climbing. The lighting seems a little flat on this exposure

Beautiful picture. The climber is placed following the rule of thirds, so, nobody could fault you for that. I also like your keeping the climber little, thereby giving the much needed sense of great height; however, I am not sure that the rule of thirds powewr point is the best placement for the climber in this case. I imagine you did try other crops and ended up with this (9)
