[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Bietschhorn is one of the most beautiful mountains of the Swiss Alps. It belongs to the Unesco World Heritage Site, including the famous glacier of Aletsch.
The Bietschhorn culminates at almost 4000m. This mountain is not easy to climb, because of its friable rocks. The picture has been taken from the other side of the Rhone Valley.
I call this picture transition, because after the forest below turn to orange and brown the first snow appears normally in October or November, creating a nice contrast. The picture has been taken in the evening, we can see the shadows coming from the western side.

Guten Tag, liebe Anne.
Eine zurückhaltend leise, stimmungsvolle Aufnahme dieser großartigen Szenerie ums Bietschhorn bescherst Du uns hier in verhaltenden Farbtönen.
Der Winter ist heuer bei uns in den Bergen im Osten Österreichs bereits mit kräftigem Neuschnee und in Wien mit Dauerregen eingefallen. Da tut es gut, mit einem Anblick wie diesem den Kopf aus den Wolken zu haben.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter

Hi Anne,
a sight for sore eyes. What a magnificant landscape, almost sublime in it's beauty. Exposure is perfect and your POV has given miles and miles of depth. What i would give to be there in person! Thanks for sharing this wonderful view..

Hello Anne,
Wonderful view of these dramatic Alps. The light and the colours are so beautiful and I like your POV including the spruce on the right. Verry well composed.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hello Anne,
Beautiful place. Very well captured mountain-scape. Good details. Correct exposure to capture both the high as well as low tones. Congratulations.

Salut Anne
Quel beau paysage.Excellent PDV ey image bien nette.La composition ainsi que la lumiere sont excellente.Une image qui me donne le gout de visiter ton pays.
Merci Michel

Bonjour Anne,
C'est la première fois que j'ai l'occasion de commenter tes oeuvres!

Superbe paysage de carte postale :-) Excellents détails. Les couleurs sont très naturelles et le contraste partfait. Ici ça nous fais penser que l'hiver arrive à grands pas...
Merci et à la prochaine,

Claude

Liebe Anne,
sehr gut gemacht, das Portrait vom Bietschhorn in Pastellfarben. Raffiniert: die emporkriechenden Schatten. Gut auch, dass die Tanne rein Kontur und nicht in Farbe ist. Ansel Adams wäre stolz auf Dich wenn er noch lebte, so bin ich es halt.
Herzlich grüsst Dich
Dieter

Hello Anne

Hi Annne!

I think you know why I chose this picture as a favourite. It's incredible: today, we had a family meeting at Schwarzsee (Freiburg) to say good bye to a family member that has just passed by. With some oncles, we were remembering the moments we have spent together in front of this beautiful mountain.

I like the colors, the lighting and the composition of your picture very much and agree with you that it expresses a transitional mood. Let's go and catch that winter...

Kind regards
Markus

Hi Anne,
What a wonderful vista. The soft colors are very beautiful and the shapes of the mountains most atractive to explore. I like the way you used the trees to frame your photo. I have to be honest when it comes to the quality of the photo. It somehow seems that the lower part of the photo has lost much of its details. The trees on the foot of the mountain seem to have become one large mass of brown color. Did something happen on the upload?
TFS,
Niek

Bonjour Anne,
quelle splendide photo, ca donne envie de venir se balader en Suisse, la phot est très bien composée, avec un point de vue magnifique, de jolies couleurs naturelles et une excellente lumière
Bravo et merci de partager,

Hi Anel,
very good shot! amazing place. I don´t know if you work with photoshop, but it seems that over the canyon the image is a bit blur. But that´s all. The POV is really good and the combination of light and shadows is also good.
compliments, regards!!

Bonjour Anne
Très belle composition, couleurs très naturelles,
excellent cadrage.
Bien le bonjour à la région la plus ensoleillée de ce jour, le restant de la Suisse étant sous les nuages et la bise.
Amicalement Robi

Bonsoir Anne,
C'est un site impressionnant mais la lumière le rend paisible. Le titre de ton image est très bien choisi. Transition de la saison vers l'hiver, mais aussi transition dans le paysage, entre le montagnard et l'alpin. On vois très bien sur ta photo comme la limite de la forêt coincide avec celle des premières neiges.
Magnifique image,
Bonne soirée,
Hervé

Superbe paysage, grandiose, belle composition.
Bravo
Marie

Hi Anne,

Great shot and you have managed the different tonal balances with real skill. Lovely detail, colours and composition.

Kind regards,

Mike

You managed nice sharpness on the distant mountain Anne. I do have to agree with Niek... something happened to the focus in the middleground. Exposure on the whites is good. This looks like a nice place to visit.

Hello Anne,
No matter how pure and clean the first snow is, no matter how good it looks in photographs; I'd rather not see it at all..!
This is a well composed image with a great feeling of depth, and the varied light adds life...
Greetings,
Pablo -

Bonjour Anne,

Bonjour Anne,

Brr, j'ai froid rien qu'à regarder cette photo!
Belle composition qui met en valeur l'immensité de la montagne et jolis tons qui nous annoncent un hiver plus proche qu'on ne le croit
Merci

Servane

Una fotografía que hace soñar. He estado cerca de Los Alpes pero nunca vi sus montañas. Encantador sol y sombra.

Saludos Anne.

lovely alpine shot..cant get these here...may have to visit switzerland or austria again
clear view with tree keeping watch over the foreground area
intersting your shot is 100Kb..1/2 the allowable.
canon lens power seen coming through in the clarity and good tones

Amazing shot Dear Anne! Though the light on the mountain seems a little strong to me, the composition and the conveyed alpine atmosphere is magnificent. It at once make me dream that I am walking there in the woods...

It is realy well model of Mountains. I like mountains and this photo well composed mountain capture.

Hi Anne,
I don't know if this a the most beautiful mountain in Swiss Alps, but for sure it's really beautiful. A very good composition and a wonderful light.
TFS, José M.

Bonsoir Anne
On croirait voir le fond d'écran de 'La Columbia' , la société cinématographique, qui avait une montagne enneigée en arrière plan de son annonce publicitaire.
J'espère que cela ne te vexe pas, mais en réalité je trouve cette prise de vue REMARQUABLE.
Alors Merci
Amicalement
Laurent

Hello Anne,
I noticed the image of this beautiful mountain, the Bietschhorn,
because of the shadows that were cast across the terrain, and because its shape is very similar to our own Mt. Hood in Oregon.
I see the copper color of the trees at the turn of seasons is spectacular, and the summit would indeed be a challenge to ascend. A monumentas achievement if one were to succeed.
Very good image...
Steve

Hello Anne,
A very beautiful composition of this landscape, as I can visualize. It has an excellent DOF & POV. I appreciate your notes & the explanation for transition zone. TFS.
