•  Question Though the climbers are centered in the shot, and appear to be the focus, they don't stand out very well. Was this intentional? 203.35.135.133 13:04, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it was intentional. The photo is more about the spendor of the mountains and the view from the summit. This shot has some personal meaning for the climber in the photo and I, as the mountain in the background, Ama Dablam, is our next scheduled Himalayan conquest. Island Peak was our first so I was getting both mountains in the shot.

•  Support For the given cirumstances and with compulsory minimal photo-gear I think it's a great shot --Richard Bartz (talk) 17:30, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose I am not keen on the composition, with the main figure dead-centre. The red and black of the clothes are very dark, making the image extremely contrasty, perhaps unavaidably. One has to look twice to see where the climber's head is: the stance is difficult to make out without studying the figure closely. Finally, the outline of the main figure is broken up by the one behind. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 18:22, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

•  Support Blue Shadowing on background peaks/snow, but difficulty of getting this shot amply makes up. Taollan82 (talk) 20:30, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
