I've used this location before for my "what DPC loves the most" entry. I thought it might work for what I was trying to do. I wasn't sure the illusion was going to work but after turning my camera on its side to view the effect I was pretty happy with the result. I tried many different poses and facial expressions this is the one I liked best. I'm just glad that this place was secluded because I'm sure I looked really odd laying on that rock.

I love her expression, and I really like it that the whole outfit is sorta a climbing outfit (although the boots are more hiking boots I think). Good control of light also. What I don't like so much is the rotation. Yes, nothing in the challenge description said you couldn't rotate, but in this case it just doesn't make sense. It simply feels like a gratuitous rotation, to fit the image into the challenge. Sorry. ~5
Ok, I'm cherry picking through the thumbs first. This is the first one I'm looking at. Nice job, on the thumb, I did think this was a rock climber, then I saw the lake. Nice job. My idea/interpretation of the challenge.
