[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yesterday I went back to Valais to have a look to real Winter. It was a very bright day and there was snow everywhere. This year we are blessed by a lot of snow and we hope it will stay for quite a while.
I have shown the Bietschhorn already several times and I hope you get not tired of it. I love this mountain and have the chance to see it like this from my Chalet-window.
The picture has been taken in the afternoon, but darkness actually comes very soon, at 17h already.
I hope you like it.

Precious takes is very beautiful, frame and approach are perfect picture postcard!
Greetings Jose

Very nice and clear mountain. I always like to have this kind of view over a mountain. However its kind of hard to have it in my country.

Hi Anne,

great moment - light of the sky and play of shadows on the mountain view are superb. It`s not necessary to put all pictures into a frame (I´m a fan of frames - but do not use them with all pictures). Without the frame you feel having a look on the mountain like you did - glad to wear my pullover!

Congratulatons,
Oki

Liebe funktionsfähige Anne,
Dein Lieblingssujet gelingt Dir immer besser, jetzt ist es schon echt sensationell dargestellt, Kontraste Vordergrund, Schnee, alles spielt mit. Mach nur weiter mit Deinem Bietschhorn Album!
Herzlich grüsst Dieter
NB: ich fände es toll, mich mit dem anderen Bietschhornfan und Dir z.B. in Bern im neuen Jahr zu treffen.

Bonjour Anne,
Magnificent image of that mountain!
I like the light here, not so bright, and the subtle details got on the snow.
It's very good the composition made with the triangle shapes, shadows and pine.
Felicitacions et merci du partage.
Mes amities,
JM

i do like it very much Anne, i would love to walk this peaks fine ridges and scramble on it's rock...a wonderful view. The low winters sun has given you some lovely shadow and contrast here, and the exposure is excellent. Sharp and clear too, well done.
have a great weekend,
Paul

Hello Anel,
Yes, I love it! These alpine tops look absolutely wonderful! Thanks to the steep sides no signs of human beings! I like your POV with the tops of the pine trees in the foreground. Lovely blue sky too. Well done!
Many thanks and have a nice weekend, Ulla

Hi Anne!

Thank you for showing us again the most beautiful and perfect mountain of the Alps. I'm also happy to know that you went back to the Wallis. You should go there more often in order to bring back beauties like this one...

Kind regards

Markus

Hello Anne,
Lovely composition of well placed cones: those of the mountain peaks in the BG and of the spruce tops in the foreground. Beautiful winter colours and lighting too.
Fantastic view to have from your chalet!
Well done, thanks and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hello Anne,
Very beautiful and grand landscape shot you present here.
Wonderful looking mountains you've captured with excellent details and focusing.
Well presented with perfect exposure as well.
I love this shot very much. :-)
TFS and best wishes,
Kevin

Anne, I envy you for having such a beautiful mountain view from the window of your chalet!
Your love for it is reflected in the manner you have composed the shot. The snow-covered mountain looks great against the blue sky.
It has snowed early in the mountains of India too and I like it. Might as well make a trip to my native place around Christmas when the mountains would be already loaded with snow. Have not been there for about a decade during winters.
Thanks for sharing this lovely picture and best regards.
Ram

Hi Anne,
A majestic view from your chalet window and you have captured it in all its glory. Beautiful snow laden mountains and the dark sky gives a fine effect. Immaculate sharpness. Superb light and shadow effect with the FG tree presenting a great perspective. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hola Anne,
Hermoso el paisaje que nos presentas, la luz y el color son preciosos, buenas texturas, saludos

Hello Anne!
This picture is simply: monumental :) You showed here all beauty of mountains in the winter period :)
I am not sure if the shadow in the left corner is necessary, but really it is my opinion :)
Best greetings from Lodz,
Radomir

Hi Anne, fascinating mountain landscape with splendid sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Anne.
Simply perfect shot with terrific colours, amazing transparence, fresh air and crisp details and razor sharpness. I like selection of pictured view and your POV. Bravo and best wishes.

Bonjour Anne,
L'hiver s'installe. Plus que la neige, c'est la lumière et le soleil bas qui nous le dit. J'apprécie beaucoup de voir cette montagne magnifique au fil des saisons, et j'espère la voir encore, en plein coeur de l'hiver ou à l'arrivée du printemps.
Amicalement,
Hervé

Hi Anne

I know snow is cold and I don't really like getting freezing cold, but your shot almost gave me that "I wish I was there" feeling. Then I woke up and smelled the hot coffee and realised that I would rather leave this job to you guys to photograph these majestic scenes. Beautiful snow covered mountain peaks (such as this shot) so easily lulls us into that misguided romantic feeling of "snow is cool". Cool in this case not having anything to do with the temperature, but rather in a sentimental opinion of excellence.

A lovely capture, well composed with excellent reference of scale and depth given by the trees in the foreground, and great exposure control.

Well done and TFS.
Best regards
Loot

Bonjour Anne,
ces paysages montagneux font rêver, le point de vue est tout simplemnt superbe, très jolies couleurs et parfaite maitrise de l'exposition,
Il n'y a pas à dire, la Suisse est surement un des plus beau pays au monde,
bravo et merci,
amicalement,
Pat

Hello Anne,
A wonderful mountain, majestic and impressive!
Sharp fine details and stunning colours in the fine light...
A well balanced composition with a fine feeling of depth!

Magestic hills! I hope to see them one day with my own eyes but your shot is a great success in bringing this amazing beauty chez nous.
All the best wiches for a marry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi Anne,
That sharp peak is well seen. Your pov and composition of this great Bietschhorn is perfect. Feeling fresh with that sun light, soft white snow, blue sky, and the majestic mountain. Looking forward to your new pc and new posts.

Hi Anne
This is a very nice mountain landscape scene. I like the POV and the angle of the Sun and the shadows adding depth.Nice job!
