a bit green/yellow...
flash is too strong, making the image unnatural.
Boldering shots rarely work when you shoot from the ground pointing above. Try shooting from a higher point. Cheater stones, trees, the bolder itself are all good. I know people even carry ladders to get a nice pov.

krillen, you bring an interesting point, you read composition articles and everywhere you see "the rule of thirds" i accedentally forgot it this time, but i have been looking in climbing magazines and keep seeing the subject centered... whats up with that?

first you have to understand the rules..... and than break them
artistic "rules" are usually guidelines or shortcuts. They are not meant to be applied everytime, everywhere.
That is said, there are reasons for these "rules". Only by studying and trying them you can figure out when to apply, or when not to apply.

True.
In this case, I think it would have been better to pull the subject to the left and allow the crack to lead the eye out of the photo more.
Also, portraits TEND to be more centered than action shots...so it really depends on what you are going for.

This shot would have looked better if shot from the 2 oclock high position.

See my comments to guangzhou. timing is important for the talent. There his shoulders are up and he's in a transition position, looking for holds. I would choose a moment when the pause is more aesthetic...
Since the talent is aiming for a hold, I'd say ialso t's important to see what's aimed at. The more impressive the better.
If your camera doesn't have shutter lag, and allows a couple of FPS, try shooting when the talent is going for a move. Look for a nice body position and get lucky... Then you'll have a true moment frozen in time.

What can I say... then you were 1/4 sec too fast :)
I'm serious about the "moment" thing. I think it helps a lot...
