Well done - this image captures the spirit of mountaineering nicely. And I know how hard it can be to stop and make a good shot while the rest of the group keeps pushing ahead!

Technically, I'd crop the right border a bit (up to the right edge of that distant rock) and add some vignetting since the snow surface blends too much with the surrounding white page.

Wow.
Very striking image.

I agree with the crop, but if this site is not the intended audience i would not worry about the vignetting as it only blends really well here!

Thank you both for the crop tip, i agree i can cut it a bit, but i have to admit that i didn't think of the white page of Vazaar not much we can do about it i guess.
Thank's agian

Wow - instant fave for me! Super shot.

Best,
Jon

I do like this one, I have looked at it a couple of time before, but held back commenting. The framing is nicely balanced the way it is, if you cut the right, then it goes unbalanced for me. My one comment is that I really wish we could see the face of the lead climber.

Ahhhh...a dream of mine!!! Love it!

What a great shot! I can hear the crunch of the snow that the poles and shoes are making along with the breaths that are being taken in and being expelled.
A very moving story with this shot.

Oh my gosh...you were actually there to take this photo?? Outstanding perspective, excellent detail and wonderful color. Wow!

Thank's eziler, yep i was there on this outstanding mountian in Chile an amazing day!

A great shot! Especially since they are all looking down!
