i took this image on my last trip to patagonia. from this vantage point you normally have a beautiful view of mount fitz roy and cerro torre with the canyon in the foreground. this time the light on the far side was way better.

read the story behind the image on my blog.

Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, El Chaltén, Santa Cruz, Argentina

Canon 5DMKII, EF 17-40 @ 30mm, Singh-Ray GND
ISO 100, f/11, 1second
single exposure processed in LR and PS

best,

I think I've seen shots from this vantage point, all looking the other way (as you mention). This is quite a fine shot despite the absence of the classic peaks. The light, the line of the river, and the layered hills all make for an enjoyable image.

Ah, i'm dissappointed--from the title i was expecting talking cows

Pretty photo though--i could see cropping just a bit of the lhs, for a 4X5 aspect. Nice!

Amazing what you pulled out of one exposure, Joerg. Looks like an intensively beautiful moment.

Awesome shot. Great composition. The orange areas in the clouds seem to come forward a bit too much for me. Not sure how one would fix that in a photograph. Maybe darken them a bit or lighten the areas around them in order to create a better transition.
