Peaks on fire

Gallery: LandscapePosted April 8, 2010252 views11 comments

Just come back from a recent trip enjoying the last snowy season in the Pyrenees I had the chance to capture the only sunrise during the two days I spent there.

I'm curious about your opinion on this. Please, feel free to give me any critic.

Thanks a lot for your time.

Just beautiful Enrique. The FG stone is a bit invasive IMHO but it's just me. Really great capture.

Wow, that's a nice light show. Great title.
I feel like the foreground needs a 1/3 stop darkening.
None the less, great image!

Really nice scene.

I like this as presented. The FG stone provides a nice anchor, and the distant BG looks great.

Very very nice Enrique, apart the obviously wonderful light on the peaks in the bg, I really love the subtlety of the light in the foreground, and I think that's what really makes the picture, in my opinion. I love the graininess of the snow and how the yellows of the rock contrasts with the bluish white all around.

This is a beautiful shot, Enrique. The landscape and lighting are excellent. I am not sure about the composition, though. I usually like the near-far compositions but in this case there seems to be a disconnect between the foreground and background. On top of that, all of the drama is in the background with those fabulous peaks and amazing light. I find myself wanting to see more of the sky in this and less of the foreground and middleground. This is a nice shot as is, but I think if you were to focus the composition more on the peaks and sky it would make this a stronger image over all.

It's beautiful Enrique. The fiery light works well to back up a solid composition. The detail in the larger version is very nice. Me encanta.

Enrique, Nice colors I like the FG. I think the Fg is fine the way it is.
