Hmmm... After shooting a roll of that recently, I was really surprised by how much I loved it. Very nice image Chris - though I'd probably lose that wall in the foreground. It's just too close for me. Lose it and you've got that dark patch sweeping in and then off to the right to lead the eye in. (Totally agree that if you're going to lug a ton of gear up a hill, you'd better not crop anything out though
)
I think when I pack the Tomiyama and the RB67 it gets up to about that weight, so I feel for you. Makes the photos that much more special - knowing you almost broke your back to get them
