Hi all, how are you doing?

I begin my participation in this amazing NPN with this post of one shot taken during one trip to photograph the autumn at two incredible national parks in southern Patagonia. Here you're the paine towers at the eastern part of the park with the same name

I hope you like it.

Beautiful view of some prolific mountains. I like the shadows on the foreground hillsides. They provide a nice depth to your image. The layering from front to back also contributes a nice flow. Maybe its just the cloud but it looks like a piece of hair in the very URHC. What kind of equipment did you use here? Welcome to NPN!

Beautiful light and layers, Roberto. Love these dramatic peaks. Patagonia is tops on my long list of international photography destinations. Welcome to NPN!

Welcome to NPN Roberto. You certainly picked some inspiring peaks to go introduce yourself. I might crop just a little off the top, but that's minor.

Welcome to NPN!
Impressive landscape, beautifully captured. I hope to see these mountains in person one of these days.

Beautiful shot. I traveled to Torres Del Paine several years ago and had a lot of gray skies, hail, and rain . . . but I have some good memoreis nonetheless. It's nice to see these peaks (Los Torres? I can't remember the exact name) shot from someplace other than the lake at the base. One small suggestion--consider whether the blues are a bit too cyan. They seem that way on my monitor.

Those are really impressive peaks, Roberto - like nothing we have in North America. The image is great. Some minor issues for me: I would consider darkening the top half by just a bit, especially the bright areas on the distant peaks. Also, and this is only personal preference, the cyan of the sky seems just a bit much - I would push it a bit more to the blue spectrum.
