[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On the Indonesian grass root society there is one activity that always being held for celebrating Independence day (17 Aug): Panjat Pinang or (betel nut trees climbing)

Everyone (in groups) can compete for the prizes but only five people allowed to climb and the rest as the substitution. No climb gear allowed (ropes, ladder etc).

The first member should able to hold the triple weight to his owns weight. And the upper climbers mostly has smaller bodies.

When ONE (the top climber) reach the top, the participants below will breakaway and let him choose the prizes for the whole team. The prizes might be funbike, money, dvd player, radio, etc.

This one is well captured - excellent detail, good use of light, great textures. Composition is good. The background works well too.
Nice job

Hello, Yopie -
Fantastic capture of a great moment. Sharp details and nice range of b&w tones. The expressions of the two bottom guys show their exertion and concentration. Unusual scene, very well captured.

YOu've really captured the intensity of the moment, with great expressions on both men as they try desperately to hold on.
