The Majestic

Hello

This is a simple shot of the Jungfrau in Switzerland. It is in the same range as the Eiger (famous from its North wall).
The light is from the setting sun, but was not very colorful yet (pity that I did not wait there), so I tried to do some BW conversion.

Thank you for your comments.

Very well done. I like it a lot. Personally I would crop a bit at each end for a little less of a pano look but that's personal taste. B&W was definitely the right choice.

Great image! I think you were spot on the make it in b/w, the tonal range is excellent.

I enjoy the silhouette at the bottom, which is not always the case. The mountain itself looks very grand and stands out beautifully.

The tones here make for and incredibly strong image, Shantikara. This really reminds me of Ansel Adams' images.

I agree with Tony, in fact from the thumb i thought this might be Wonder Lake. Cool!
