Spot the other climber on Observatory buttress

Beautiful light and lovely composition, and the climber really makes the photo. Well done! (Though I must admit I'm a bit jealous of your opportunity to be there!)

No I can't.

Bottom right of pic on the slender arete just below a small rock band

Sorry but the climber is all wrong for me. Needs to be more in the picture and not leaning on the axes. Lovely light though.

I agree, climber is too far left in the frame for me, do you have any with more of the left before you cropped? Or is this the full frame?Other than that slight niggle, its a nice shot.

Not cropped but the shot was hurriedly taken as we came out from finishing Astral Highway to see the sun setting and the Spanish climber in the foreground - I couldn't very well ask him to reverse down 15m to get into the perfect position!
Sean K - I'd like to see you ascend that slope using your axe any differently ! Cheers

It's like where's walley. Must be my screen. Still cant see it. The Hi Res probably gives more detail. Nice pick anyway.

climber bottom right, just below rock band on buttress

Yeah, spotted that 1st time but it looks more like rock than a climber, soz. Still a nice pic though.

Sorry, but I don't like this photo enough to make it photo of the week. The sky isn't blue, the snow isn't reflecting the beautiful light of the sunset as well as it might and the composition is unbalanced I feel (too much below the climber, not enough to the right of the sun). Nice photo, but not amazing in my opinion.
