Has this been 'enhanced'? I'd like to see the original without the weird colours.
Have a 5 though.

Thanks estivoautumnal - yes the shot has been 'processed' as I always shoot in RAW. The main adjustments were to bring up the shadows and bring down the highlights as the dynamic range from the back of the cave was huge. I also experimented with split toning, which I very rarely use, but I wanted to keep a bit of blue in the ice - early versions had a blue cast over the whole image, but I thought I'd rectified it....?!? Thanks for your vote and comments!

This is a very good action photo where you can actually see the climber's face and sense the exposure. However, personally, I would have darkened the rock in the chimney as it would highlight the figure better, which is where the action is.

Thanks for your comments Sean, much appreciated. Funnily enough I recently boosted the shadows as I thought they were too dark! Maybe I need a middle ground...

I agree with Sean and maybe straighten the horizon - still agreat shot though

Great picture! That wouldn't be the Tommy from DSMC class of 93 would it?

Now that is a great angle to achieve a pic on a hard to photo route. 'Cold Climbs' has a few superb b/w shots on the Minus Face and this is more in the modern idiom.

This is a great shot of a brilliant day of climbing. All your B/W images from that day are superb too.

That's very kind Mike, thanks - you know none of it would have been possible without your expert guiding and modelling!!

Congratulations! This photo was chosen as Photo of the Week, based on votes by registered users over the past 7 days.

Congrats on PotW Mr Wildey, well deserved.

Congratulations Daniel! A fantastic day and some great memories. Re-living it now at my desk... Tommy K.

That must be one exciting desk you've got Tommy!
