Hello, I try to avoid too much post processing. My idea is to do the most on the location although it is somtimes quite difficult like here on Bellavista where I was jumaring on the ropes for 12 hours. I was concentrated especially on light metering in this case and I did some minor corrections on computer afterwards. The setting fot this photos were: 1/200, F-stop 16, ISO 200 at 28 mm.

I think you should start again with the photoshop work.
Good photo which is spoilt by poor photoshop.
Get a life "murdster"! This is a brilliant photo. Try getting a better one in this situation without post processing and then speak up. Do you have any idea how much work goes into taking a shot like this? Stick yer photoshop where we can't see it.
Amazing climbing, great photo, but does look a bit artificial to me. Like a lot of lightening shadows in PS "shadows/highlights". I'd apply a bit less all round, much less for the background if poss. Hard photo to do this for though, if you want to see bright sun and deep shadow areas clearly.
