This Image was shot on the Parker Ridge Trail on the border of Banff and Jasper National parks in Canada. The Camera was set up on a Tripod and set to the rapid fire shutter mode. My Girlfriend held down the shutter as I leaped into the frame. The glacier in the background is flowing out of the columbia icefield.
The image was edited in both Lightroom and CS3

Come on, now. Like you actually capture that eagle in the same shot? That's awesome! The mid-tones seem a little flat, you could boost the contrast a bit via curves.
cool! it would have been neat if the bird was more prominent, which seems to happen if it is cropped just enough to omit the hiking poles (right at the finger tips of his left hand). great location and man is he up there! did he jump off a rock or something?
i LOVE this picture only because I cant find a word better than love, I could do without the blue things sticking out as they are distracting, but the fact that there is some sort of hawk flying on the side and the arms are outstretched on the man as if he were flying, its just gorgeous, again the blue things are really really distracting, what are they? 8
