Ice Climbing
A friend of mine playing around on some ice during a winter climbing trip.

compression isn't helping.

I like how the climber puts the environment into perspective and like Rajeev said, the red jacket really makes the cimber stand out. This is an excellent shot. Where was this taken?

Wonderful shot Jeremy, but it scares me since we lost a friend doing just that.

Very cool! (No pun intended). I love the sense of scale and setting. The red jacket is key.

I'm glad the climber has a red jacket on. Makes him stand out in an awesome landscape.

Beautiful shot! I like those icicles in the top left of the frame.

Neat comp, Jeremy, and yeah--the red against the ice definitely is cool!

Thanks for the comments, it was taken in the Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness.

It's a really nice shot made fantastic by the addition of the climber in the red jacket, both for scale and contrast.

Jeremy,
A shot with great impact..Im like the others....the red jacket is the clincher....cool colors receed and warm color move forward.....or something like that.
