    You did relatively well with direct overhead lighting. Lots of fill flash migh have helped.

    I like the comp and low perspective with the sky background, Stuart. The harsh shadows detract from an otherwise very good image, IMO. :)

    Stuart,
    Did it involved a lot of climbing? I agree that fill flash would have helped. Also, moving closer to shoot only the head would have been great as well. Though it may have run away at your approach. Thanks for sharing.
    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi
