Thanks for all the good comments.

This picture was taken on a snowboardtrip in Chamonix,France. There was little thought put into this shot. I saw this hole formation in a serac and snap two shots of it while still standing on my snowboard and then rushed to catch up with the rest of my group. Guess there is luck in photography too.

Postprocess was a sharpening and adjusted contrast/brightness.

What a great capture. Point of view is so nice, and you certainly have an interesting capture. It seems a bit oversharpened, though. Also, to deepen your tones, in LEVELS, slide the middle slider to the right just a bit and see what happens. good luck! 8

Wow! I feel like you've taken me to a place I could never have gone to myself. Makes me appreciate the beauty of the ice and snow in a way I have not before. Thanks. This is a 10 for me.

Man, the distances some people will go to enter a challenge here. GORGEOUS! Hope you've thawed out since. Really nice shot. That has to be tricky with all that white snow, but you've exposed perfectly.
