Elevation

Here's one from two weekends ago. We were out bouldering and I decided to try a new perspective.

In this shot he has just been spat off the rock and is beginning his descent back to earth.

Thanks for looking!

Why no replies here??

Give it a little more saturation and contrast so it jumps out.

I'm really torn about the branches on the bottom. I don't know if I like it there or not.

The exposure is pretty darn good for the circumstances!

bounce flash, for the shins and feet.

Thanks for the comments!

Thanks manasca for rescuing this post before it got lost forever into the depths of the forum lol..

I love it. The trees in the lower part ground the image, the angle creates a sense of perspective and scale (tough to do when trying to show height/steep grades) and the pose against the bright sky reads really well, it's obvious what he's doing right away.

I'd have to vote against fill-flash though, the contrast here makes it for me, and anything reducing it would be detrimental in my eyes. Available light 4ever! ;)
