^^That first shot has an almost dizzying perspective with the line of rope trailing down like that. Killer shot!

alas, we have no snow yet like the CO folks, but hey, at least I've got a fridge that looks like this.

thoughts on a processing trick? I composed this to try to use the person to convey scale, and also shot the frame when he was trying to assess the route. I didn't get enough contrast and isolation of the human form though - not enough clean background, so I tried another trick. pulled down the saturation on most of the colors except for the blue jacket, to bring back some really strong contrast. I think it kind of works ... just trying to figure out how to compose better for next time. (btw, it was a damn fun, and puckering at times, climb)

All you fuckers with enough snow for skiing without hiking hours for it are making me jealous.
Snow level down to 2500' later this week though...
