Hi Mario

Your nostalgic notes filled me with a touch of sadness, but also with fond memories of my own youth when no mountain was too high or no trail was too stretched. Today its pain killers, braces, crutches, and sometimes even a wheelchair, while the only other alternative is a good nature DVD and the comfort of a recliner.

Those blue mountains sure does look cold with those extensive ice caps. Even the pine trees seem to be shivering (chuckle). The composition is interesting and conveys a sense of wide open space. The great difference in contrasts within the shot obviously gave you a torrid time to get the exposure 100%. The dark valley, the bright snow peaks, and the intense sky would stretch the technical ability of most photographers though. The colours and the details are fine.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hello Mario,
Good note to accompany this fine image!
Very well composed and with good details, but most impressive is how you create a feeling of depth by use of the foreground trees...
Lovely details and this place can easily pass for Shangri La!
Greetings,

Hi Mario,

The blue colours on the slope of the mountains give a excellent contrast against the gold trees and the white mountains tops in background. Very well done.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Aires.
I like your choice of shooting time. Very expressive sunlight on the top and shadows on the bottom. Your shot looks like painted by water-colour. Delicateness of colour tones of the mountains and of the sky is fine. I also like trees as FG. Nicely composed impressive picture. My compliments and TFS.
Alexei.

Wow! What a wonderful way to spend the last day of the year!
Your mountain shots are all very impressive, Mario! I am also quite amazed that you attempted this in "frail health"
Truly wonderful from start to finish
