Description
New picture from Patagonia 1 month trip .I chose a cold white balance and muted tones for this scene ; but still hesitating with the pure B/W version .
This was in the first part of our trip, reaching 'lago de Los tres' quite famous place just in front of this crazy fortress ( Cerro Fitz Roy ) .
What I really liked here is the cloud bow just above the mountains .
Here you can see the same mountain during the night :
I hope you'll enjoy this vision,
thank you

Gorgeous area! Utterly gorgeous! I know where I need to visit, at least once!
-cough- Skyrim -cough-
Heh, sorry. Couldnβt resist!
Just a teeny bit of nit-picking here:
The back of the lake (river?), just above halfway, right at the base of the cliffs/mountains β it seems to have no βbounding areaβ around it, so to speak, and looks slightly unnatural.
For example, to the left hand side, thereβs an obvious βdipβ that leads from the bank down into the lake, whereas, at the mountain-foot, the lake seems to be straight-cut along it, which looks slightly pasted (similar to a straight horizon). The only solution that comes to mind would be to take the photo from a slightly higher position, that way you include the cut-off line that separates the mountains and the lake.
I adore the transition from the clear, crisp shallows, to the active, rippling, deeper section.
Iβm also glad you went with the subtle blue tinge β especially as itβs a fairly dark, unsaturated tone β because, generally speaking, a pure B/W shot will be used in a dynamic scene such as this because it adds effect (which generally just lacks in essence), and I personally believe that adding slight coloration adds emphasis β in this piece, the washed-out blue adds emphasis, in particular, to the coolness of the winds against the mountains, and the frigid temperature from the lake. The temperature can be βfeltβ quite well on the rocks.
Overall: lovely, clean, detailed, clear, crisp, and even from a first glance, one can easily gauge the present atmosphere! Gorgeous. Kudos to another wonderful photo!

First of all this is amazing, i love how you have taken it looking up at the mountains making them look even more powerful .
The cloud that swings around the top of the mountain makes it look a bit like a fantasy world (which is a good thing). Also it is lovley how half of the water is like a mirror and the other half of the water is moving e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
Over all this looks very professional keep up the good work e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
And hope to see more of this amazing, brillant and stunning work next time e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

First, I love how there are so many different things going on in this one picture. Most nature shots I try taking are of one thing--sky, water, rocks, etc.. However, you can see a little bit of everything here!
What I like most about this, is the contrast between the light sky and the dark ground. The composition is amazing, with a good balance with the weight of the rocks and the cloud/mountain formations in the back.
I'm glad you chose to stick with a hint of color, but not too much. Black and white would have been stunning, but I personally love the touches of blue that runs throughout the entire picture. This is a beautiful photo--very well captured!

Cette formation nuageuse convergente est juste magique!
Elle n'a certainement pas durΓ© trΓ¨s longtemps et sans elle l'image n'aurait plus la mΓͺme force.
Sans elle, tu aurais aussi certainement choisi un angle complètement différent.
En un mot, cette photo elle "claque"!
Quel oeil!

Spectacular ... I saw the black & white version first, and I don't think I could choose
between them; each is perfect in its own way.

This is greatly composed.
It's dynamic, it's moving, the rocks seem alive.
Of all the mountainscapes I've seen, this might be the best.

Amazing. I dont think pure b&w would have the same impact, the bluish tint in the sky and water is very dramatic.

Your beautiful piece of Landscape photography has been abducted to another world. I know I don't have the most page views but I couldn't resist this gorgeous photo.

Seriously awesome. I like how there's this kind of V shape coming from the mountains down into the rocks in the riverbed below.
