Hello from the Critique Club.

First, let me congratulate you scoring a personal best. Technically, your image has been captured and processed extremely well. The silhouette is sharp and solid black and the sky has wonderful coloration. You could have made the sky look more dramatic by increasing the saturation just a bit but to me, that might have looked over processed. However, over processed skies do score well at DPC. Overall, your score reflects more on how the voters related emotionally than on the technical merits of the image. The mountain top does look a bit like piled rocks, which makes the image look a bit staged. I also think the pose of the climber weakens the image a little bit. If he had been standing upright, he would have projected a stronger feeling of being on top of the mountain. Plus, it would have been nice had he been facing towards the negative space. All in all, an image most people at DPC would be proud to have in their portfolio. Nice job!!!

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

I really like this image. Yes it is cliche but very stunning. My question for you is: Is this really on a mountain top of just a mound of rocks? Should be in the top 5 IMO.
