I love to see photographs of mountains above the cloudline - they have such a calming effect. Very good exposure here and just the right level of sharpness - too much would destroy the softness of this composition. Cheers . . . David

Great shot Steeve. Is this taken from a plane or from another mountain viewpoint? Love the cloud affect. Is it possible to climb the volcano, now that it is inactive? I would cut the boarder down just a little as the max size is only 800 pixels.
Well done.

Hi Steeve,
I love it! the clouds are brilliant, soft and delicate, great colour of the sky, and great effect of the mountains bveing in different shades of blue, and the volcano still ooks impressive...

Hola Amigo,
Realmente bonita fotografía. Eso debería dar un gran golpe sobre TE. Los colores son bonitos y el encuadre es perfecto.
Une image que j'aime vraiment Steeve. Je sais ce n'est pas un ''PortrÂt'', mais très beau de toute façon. Les photos a plusieurs niveaux sont sonvent un bon succès et celle-ci en est la preuve.
Également l'utilistion des proportions est vraiment bien rendu.
Un bonito éxito muchacho!

Very nice picture. The see of clouds in the first plan gives to the picture a great effect. The volcanos seem to be floating on them.
Well done Steeve.

Steeve I took a look at your gallery including some amazing ice climbing photos of yours and some native people that you have captured. Your photos stand out above the rest showing excellent compositional skills. This scene is very well framed showing the mountians above the clouds. Thanks for sharing your work! Cheers!

Bonjour Steeve,
Quelle sujet majestueux! Les nuages le rend encore plus impressionnant.. La composition en trois strates est efficace, surtout que le première couche sont les nuages (quand même!!). J'aime bien que le volcan ne soit pas trop sharp: son contour est doux à travers le bleu saturé.Très belle image du Guatemala!
D'un autre côté, si c'était ma photo, je n'aurais pas mis de cadre sur une si belle photo. J'aurais plutôt voulu profiter du 800 pixels au complet. Mais ça, c'est très personnel et ça n'enlève absolument rien à ta photo!
Merci!!
Marc

Bonjour Steeve
J'aime beaucoup cette photo. C'est bien d'avoir les nuages dans le bas de la photo, ça laisse la place au ciel bleu... :)
Les couleurs sont belles.
Bonne journée

Bonjour Steeve,
Pas trop de danger de s'approcher de ce volcan si je lis bien.
Il est impérial au dessus de ce plancher de nuages, une manière de le photographier plus originale.
Il se dresse donr fièrement entre cette couche de nuage blancs et ce ciel bien bleu.
Bien à toi.
Daniel.
