		| | Wow Paolo, a Blue in the Free Study! You ARE the man! 
 Excellent composition, with the S-curve leading the eye to the center and the climber there... The B&W conversion works very well as well... Congratulations!

		| | Congratulations on your blue ribbon!  I wonder what the altitude was here?  I like the wide range of lights and darks, and how the path draws the eye to the figure. |

		| | The dramatic shape and form of the foreground and the contrast of light make this a truly magnificent shot.  Mind you, I'm impressed by the midground and background as well. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 02/07/2008 09:26:05 AM | 
		| | a great composition full of rich textures compensates for a small centered subject | 
 | 
		
			|  | 02/05/2008 03:02:16 PM | 
		| | wow - fantastic work here on the exposure/post for such a high contrast scene. great composition too. |

		| | I like how the tracks lead you to the climber... nice b/w conversion as well. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 02/01/2008 05:35:39 PM | 
		| | I like this very much - it's lovely and contrasty but you haven't lost details to the shadows or highlights, well done. The composition and b&w work well too :) |

		| | For me the hot spot on the right pulls the eye away from the main subject of this otherwise beautiful capture. |
