Not for the originality... but it's still a great shot. Did you try to have it a little bit darker to have more rich colors?

Thanks :) I agree on the colours, just replaced it. I combined 2 exposures (background/foreground), hope you like it!

Posted 26 months ago. ( permalink )

Wow!

Thanks to everyone for all the kind comments and invites :))
I had no idea this shot would generate so much interest.

Regarding my comment concerning originality: This is a much photographed climb, and I was definitely inspired by all the previous photos I had seen of it (including the cover of Climbing a "few" years back).

Thanks again :)))
