Tiny rock climber

[khoek]

Not quite 10 years ago a block the size of an asteroid broke off the mountains above Egli, a small village in Switzerland. Fortunately, it rumbled to a halt on the slope before reaching town. Now it is a popular rock climbing spot.

The little girl who is the subject of these two photographs was toproping on a fragment of the main block (you can see part of the parent block, which is much larger, in the background of the second photograph).

Click on the thumbnails below to access the larger pics (I hope I followed tommykjensen's tutorial properly).

:) Really like #2 with the 'not so tiny' climber in the background, not sure I like the way they're cropped though, a bit 'too wide' for my taste.

Yes I really like #2 as well! While I agree that a tighter crop would be good.....I do like the wider aspect as well as it shows off the whole scope of it nicely. Tough one.....would need to see a cropped versiont to really know.
Either way, good shots!

I just went back and had a look at a bunch of my images, my (new) laptop screen is 1366 x 768, I've been cropping images to fit that aspect more frequently without thinking about it too much.

I like #2 as well, but wish the background was in focus as well.
