Any ideas, The picture looks really flat to me, It was an incredibly sunny day so I did a double exposude on the climber/background and stitched them together. Any ideas on how to get a bit more "life" into shots like this?

Thanks,
Kevin

for a double exposure, the background is still too overexposed, especially the sky.
Also, for a sunny day, the picture is too dark, I would play with the brightness/contrast a bit, to pop the image.

The background is way too bright. A nice way to fix this would be to underexpose the scene and use remote flashes, on stands, to light the climber.

Yep, fill flash.


OR if you are or want to be a PS guru, take an exposure for the sky, one for the rock and one for the climber, then stitch them together in PS....just an option.... :wink:
