Nice photo, love the subject, color of climber set apart from rock face. I rarely put subject in dead center so I would probably have panned down a bit to move the climber up in the. I don't know if that would be better, probably not but just habit for me.

I also really love the contrast in color and had a similar thought about the crop and composition...it is all subjective though and no right or wrong. Either way it is an interesting shot and you have caught the action and the intensity of such a climb.

Late morning, early afternoon.Lighting
Given the circumstances, lighting wasn't a consideration. Just happened to be at the right place, not necessarily at the right time.Equipment
Sony A-330 with a Sony 55-200 lens.Inspiration

Cropped photo to isolate the subject and adjusted lighting to compensate for time of day natural lighting.In my camera bag

Always be aware of what is going on around you. My personal motto is "Everyday is an adventure", you can be certain something is going to happen to you or around you, you just have to be ready.
