Conquest, a photo from South Dakota, Midwest

Photographer's Note

Custer State Park in South Dakota is one of the best state parks I have ever been. It has beautiful landscapes and variety of wild animals. I spent an entire day enjoy in the park.

In that afternoon, I stayed about an hour or so next to the rock showing in the picture. I watched two young guys climbing this rock. I started watching them when they finished about two third of the climbing. Here they were, on the top of the rock.

Good scaling of that rock, Wes, by those people.. I have seen, that your shots are very TE spirit ans creative. Very good cropping too. Somehow, this is not so sharp to see so well texture of rock (?), but it is overall so good one, that no matter - Well thought and worked for.

Good bottom up approach. Now you are illustrating how “small” men can be. Only a little creature in that great nature ( for as long as we haven’t destroy nature).
I waiting for your top down pictures.

It looks like a very special rock, doesn't it? Well captured especially with the two guys on top! Well done!
