Thanks everyone! PC, are you talking about the white chalk? This is a shot of my hand holding on to a "hold" (A thing that is bolted to a wall for rock climbing) The white chalk is used to keep your hands dry when climbing. You cary it in a pouch that hangs from a belt behind you (see link). The chalk tends to cling to your hands that way. I did a shot without the chalk and it looked to setup. The idea of this shot was to give the feel that you were way off the ground hanging on. The fact of this shot is that I am standing on the groung pulling to the left. I just rotated the image in PS. I find that a shallow DOF gives it the feeling of distance I was looking for. Thinking of changing the text to just white. In the first image (not posted) I had the "Planet Granite" text covering the arm. This did not flow well and cut the image up too much. I LIke this one much better than the first. As always, I am open for comments. Thanks Spike
