Ok so two uploads already from last night of the climbers on the Pinnacle re Curbar Edge from MartinW and MikeH and both wide views, so a different approach from me showing just one of the climbers with a touch of backlighting to him.
So it was Grosmont to the Peak District in little over 24 hrs with MartinW, MikeH & Jogafoto.
Large may be worth a peek

Excellent timing, excellent capture of light. And you've isolated the figure so well from the distant valley, it seems a world away.

Great perspective and lighting with the exposure controlled so well.
Phil.
Superb image Les,well taken.The light in the valley compliments the subject well.
Tom.
that is really strong work. He stands out so nice against that oof bg, and what a beautiful bg it is as well. Perhaps the colours are just a tad too warmified (could be wrong though), but it's not really critique. More like wondering how it would look with a bit less green/yellow cast in it.
Again though... very strong work, and very much deserving of the awards.
I don't normally go for zooms or shallow(ish) DOF in landscapes, but there's something about this one. I think it's the quality of the execution rather than the set up itself that draws me in here; the framing of the hillside, the well-judged DOF and the toning and isolation/backlighting of the climber.
Maybe next time you could ask him to throw on a pair of khakis or jeans instead of the Adidas, as they're the only part of the image i'd change ;o)
Cheers, Mark
