I was rather impressed with this chap - no pad, no spotters, bloody freezing cold... plus the top of the boulder was completely covered in snow!

Could you get away with some selective lightening?, may a touch of magic wand on the red sweater?

superb, one of the best bouldering shots I've ever seen- you just want to be there.

exposure is spot on at the crag nick, but this photo would benefit hugely from some contrast adjustment. At the very least I would dodge the pebble and climber half a stop....
