Dawn,
If you could post your tech data it might help in figuring out where to help you. This shot seems to have a lot of grain. I'm not sure if its from the film or if you have enlarged it so with the scanner. Your highlights or the right seem a little hard. So maybe a filter such as a yellow or orange could help here on the b&W film. I like the subject matter here, just work on the lighting a little more, and unless you are going after the effect of a grainy shot, most like a finer grain film.(6)
Later my friend,
Russ

This was the original photo as is. No PS or anything done to it. On the posted one I cropped it and sharpened it, and turned it black and white. This was mid day so the lighting was very harsh, and we were down in a canyon with out a way for me to move up to his level. I took a few from above, but the dof wasn't good and since I was shooting into a dark canyon the detail wasn't good at all. My daughter will soon (next week) be starting preschool. Whent that happens I'll have two days a week to work on my photography again. I'll start recording the settings and lighting used on my new photos. I should be able to get better help then. Thanks :)

Shot in climb area is not easy, so your work is good; but if you want obtain the maximun in climbing image don't shot in front of the wall because 90% of pics would result flat.You can shot remaing in front of the wall only when the scene is particulary dinamic. If you can find a side position, so you can include wall, man who climb and landscape. Belay yourself and your camera and shot.Bye Alex.

Alessandro, thank you very much for you advice! I just got enough gear to be able to try that approach. Next time I have the opportunity to go climbing (it's cold!) I will try and do that off my own rope next to the other climbers.

If any of your climbing partners "lead", it typically makes for a more exciting image. I do like the crop and this photo in B&W a lot better than the original.
