That guy with the white hat's a freak... but I bet his brother is cool. What Adam hasn't told you is that the problem tops out with an insane dyno to the far left ;) . (I wish I had been there).

Wrong province. Super Sharp Shooter

err... should say 'first bolt'

Those things to the left and in front of Arnie are clearly a wmd and a bio-weapons plant.

I think it should be cropped a little thinner (and by 'I think' I mean the universal and absolute, undeniable, God-given truth), but y' know, like it.

I'll still haven't gone back to clean this... but I'm much stronger now than I was then.

I forgot... you have to invert the selection after you make it with the magic wand

re: shadows

If the image is comp'd in Photoshop:
-You have the climbers/ tent isolated on one layer and the background on another.

-Magic wand the space outside of the climbers.
-Take the lasso tool and move the selection a little off from the climbers and remove any parts of the selection that wouldn't make sense as a shadow.
-Feather the selection.
-Create a new layer between the climbers and the background
-Fill the selection with black on the new layer
-Reduce the opacity of the new layer (generally anywhere from 20% - 80%)

Now this here's a dry county. You bin drinkin' son? You drunk boy? You high?

Ha... pretty much the same picture (link below), only the crooked trees make it look like I was drunk while shooting and Richie looks whiter and more, uh... Rik-tacular?:

I like the horizontal framing here better.

I'm quite certain that the boulder is the Fly III in The Land of Oz. The problems that stem from that start are listed in the guide as Standard and right of Standard. Both go at V0-, but they are fun problems regardless of grade.

sullying the pristine nature of plastic with words like 'stone' and 'spirituality': -10 points
reviving Avedon from the dead (I assume as a zombie): +50 points
final score: uh... I'm not so good at math
