Photographically... very well done. Subject matter, however, is a bit missing. Mostly the lack of texture in the walkway. The large area of blant space below the bench pulls the attention away from the subject and offers little in itself. Maybe if you cropped the photo higher to remove the area under the front left leg and included more of the trees above it would have been more balanced and would have brought the subject lower allowing for space for the magazine title.

Perfect composition. Nice action shot, plenty of space for text and title, nice colors... Excellent.

LOL. A bubble caption reading, "You want a piece of me" would fit perfectly here. It looks like that bird is picking a fight with you. The only thing I would change would be to adhust your settings to bring out more texture in the snow. It is hard to do but I have seen it done. Just don't ask me how. Haven't figured it out myself.

Well, at least somepeople realized that magazine covers need to leave some space for titles and text. Very well composed. Had there been more detail for the drivers, it would have improved a lot. But given the circumstances, it's not easy to meter for light when the subject is zipping past you.

Way to go Kiwi. Truth be told, when I first saw that photograph, I immediately thought of McCurry's National Geographic shot. Very well done.

I see. It's basically for commercial use rather than recreational.

WOW. Now I see how that works. I love the concept. I was somewhat curious as to how the lift functioned when I saw your challenge entry. The only problem is that one would have to step down the mast on sailboats in order to fit it through the circles.

Very nice use of perspective. At first glance, I actually thought the 'flames' where integral in the building. Excellent.

An extra point just for setting up the game for the photo op.

I love you choice of subject for the challenge, but I fear non-climbers will be lose much of the relevance. I like the lighting and the choice of black and white.
