YES ! I have waited a long time to see a client shot like this, thank you Peter. Taken on delay with a good deal of thought this is the grail adventure shot that is so difficult to achieve. It is slightly corny but without the KGs of cheese normally associated with absurd efforts when people try too hard. This was taken on the grown up 'High Passes of Everest (Trip Code: TNG)' therefore it is no mean feat to be fooling around at this altitude. It fills the frame, there is delightful inverted symmetry between the legs and mountain tops and it screams achievement. Nice work, no better than that, exceptional.
