Description Taken on my trip to Switzerland with *GiZmO0o

Location: Mt Rigi, Canton Schwyz
Elevation: 1,780m (5,895ft for those *still* working in Imperial)

The name "Rigi" originates from the latin Regina Montium: Queen of the Mountains.

The mountains in the centre of the photo at the very back are actually in Liechtenstein, and the mountains on the right at the back belong to Voralberg, Austria.

*Edit*
I was told that this was showing up quite dark on a lot of monitors...hopefully this helps.

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


Let me start by stating how jealous I am that I am not physically in this location right now to Shoot it and view it.

Onward. I love the texture of the cross. It is intense and really adds a ton to the overall photograph. I am glad the cross is so close because i notice the textures then move onward to the wide range of beautiful colours.

The depth of field is spot on

Overall composition is really something to be proud of in my humble opinion. Simply said. This entire Photograph is breath taking as I'm sure the experience must have been!!
