Thank you all for the encouraging comments! I really appreciate them. Chango-To answer your question: I'm shooting in complete darkness. I could literally leave the shutter open for hours, and as long as there is not a drop of light from anyone or anything nothing will be exposed in the frame. - I had the climber stop on his ascent, and turn his light out. I set the shutter speed for five seconds.
Once I opened the shutter I gave the ok to fire flashes. Once the shutter closed I gave the ok to turn lights on. So during those five seconds there was probably only a 1/3 to 1/2 second of light exposure (I'm guessing). Thanks again everybody.

3 people thought this was an average or below photo. How embarrassing for those 3 voters.

Your photo could have come out of ANY sports magazine in the world. Jaw-dropping. Will there be a better photo submitted in challenges this year in DP? Who knows, but it's hard to imagine.

I've seen some lovely and some amazing shots over the years in DP challenges. I think this one tops them all. Just spectacular.

To say "well-deserved win" is a gross understatement. Wow, wow, wow.
