Wow! Amazing capture, Diman! You were brave to take your camera to such a height...but I am glad you did! Stunning scenery & great shot of your friends! Congrats on your POTD!

Fantastic shot, stunning scenery and great capture of the intense climb. You really bring us there. Congratulations on your well deserved win!

Wow, what a climb in gorgeous and challenging territory, Diman! This scene could be found in the National Geographic. I think I managed to find all 5 with a little help from you. The climber in the foreground is carrying quite a load. Gives one an appreciation of both the danger and thrill of an accomplishment such as this. Congratulations on a lovely POTD win!

Even more than the climbers, I have always admired the photographer in the group who has added equipment in order to record the event. Congratulations on reaching the summit and on a super image!
