    Wonderful Peter...A clever use of lighting & lines to draw the eye to the subject, which tells a simple story. Love the blowing sand, especially that it's in someone else's photo. Not quite so much fun when you are having to deal with it yourself...

    Thanks Don...Blowing sand is not much fun..but you do get a free "facial" did nt need to exfoliate for weeks afterwards... I agree about the leading lines...I have processed this a few times all the other attempt just didn't feel right...but I like this one..
    Thanks for comments , always appreciated

    Something different Peter - I've been enjoying your new high key series a lot.
    I do like the empty space all around and the central placement of the hiker...though I think shaving some off the top would be equally nice?

    Different and very nice! Not so sure about the central placement of the hiker -- I think Morkel has a good idea.

    Classic high key image and very well done. Good use of leading lines to bring the eye to the figure on the summit. I think I may be tempted to take a bit off the left as I feel this is dead space which draws my eye a little. Like it a lot.

    Very nicely composed Peter...I like the lone man placed dead center :)

    Another finely composed and processed image Peter.
