Profile of a Climber

From the Second Flatiron, there was just a short moment when there was a perfect profile alignment with a climber on the Third Flatiron as he or she finished leading the last pitch to the summit. Three other climbers can be seen on the belay ledge below.

This image was processed in Silver Efex Pro starting with the “Silhouette” preset. There is actually detail in the cloudy sky as well as in the rock, so I do have a more standard version of this picture–but this is the one I prefer.

Simplicity.
