That sure looks cold, but sights like this are the reward we get for it! Beautiful.

Beautiful light and I love the color contrast. Great shot Chris - definitely worth the cold night.

I've spent many a freezing night trying to shoot the mountain from Loma de las Pizarras (unsuccessfully). I dream of Fitz Roy so I appreciate your efforts.

Nice close up of those amazing peaks, and great light to compliment everything! IMO, the shadows on the bottom appear quite blue, maybe a touch too blue, even given the time of day? The large version is quite a treat, with all the detail. Thanks for sharing!

gorgeous light and scene. if one was to be super picky, one might grumble a little about the top of the peak missing the sun and perhaps the overly blue cast in the shadowed snowy areas ...

What lighting to catch! It really makes the image. No way to add sun to the top of the peak, but you could lighten it a little to contrast less with the beautiful sunlit area.
