"Follow me, don't give up, we're going to reach the peak"

Last Easter I spent a few days in Cocolandia and one of these days I was in a peak called the Campiña. 2.049 meters high and snow everywhere.
The peak was snow-covered and that was beautiful.

This shot was done while we were in the final road of our climb. Our way was hard but it was a wonderful experience.
The light was nice too and I shot against the light. My POV was down and I looked at the upper part, following my friend steps.

However there aren't words for explain how wonderful was that long walk in this mountain.

I only can add that the peak, the Campiña, is in Neila. Neila is a small village in Burgos, and is one of the most important villages in the Demanda mountain range.

I hope you like it.

Hi carlos,
Wonderful composition. The colours looks a bit unnatural and the angle of view is quite bold. Great shot.
Regards.

Higher and higher. The summit is your goal... Really impressive, almost symbolic photo.
Regards!

hola carlos,
an efford, sweat (even in if such low temperatures), blowing wind, half-darkness...this atmosphere you convey in the photo very well, successful story, successful image...
best wishes, j.

Hola tu.

El foco ese que has puesto para ambientar, un poco fuerte no? :P

Aleeeeeeeeeeee

Hi Carlos,

My God, I already get tired just looking at this picture! ;-) That does surely look like a beautiful experience. I can just imagine the sound of breathing, of the shoes sinking in the snow, of the wind. The feeling of being totally alone in the middle of nowhere. The picture shows all of that and more! The light ahead, like leading you to your destination. The sharp contrast, the silouette, the feeling of movement. Great shot!

Greetings, Dennis

Nice action shot of mountain climbing. The figure bending over in effort and struggle really communicates the difficulty well. I like the choice to shoot into the light too. Well done!

Hi Carlos,

I wish you had a bit more space on the bottom and on the right, to avoid cropping the main character.

However, this is a minor detail because the photo is just beautiful! Very evocative and strong image. Congratulations!

Hola Carlos
Parece que esta caminando hacia el cielo de los dioses. Es muy fuerte y da mucho ambiente. Me gusta como el nieve es tan perfecto. Seguramente que fue una experiencia muy agradable.
Un saludo
Nikki

Wow, spectacular shot and how nice to see another post from you, Carlos. I loved your note and yes, I can understand the feelings you describe. Mountain climbing is what I like more to do and I'm surprise to see this one from your favorire place on earth. I did't think that you had such an enviornment that seems like Himalayas :)
Great POV, excellent tight composition with a magical lighting and atmosphere. Superb shot!
Un saludo,
ricardo
p.s.- please, give us more of this trek... ;-)

Hola Carlos!

Tremenda foto, la composicion es impecable, el momento increible, pero lo mas impresionante es el manejo de luz que crea un ambiente inolvidable. Felicidades, amigo!

Un saludo,
Hercules

Hola Carlos,
Impresionante composición, muy impactante.
Excelente trabajo.
Saludos

Hola amigo.
Si se me permite, una foto impresionante, de bellos colores y de una magnifica composición, da hasta la sensación cuando la miro de notar el sufrimiento del montañero al subir la montaña nevada, y ese cielo parece que se va a caer, me encanta.
Un saludo.

Hello Carlos,

Your great picture gives us a glipmse about your wonderful experience climbing this mountain. I must say that it is a very unexpected bold shot, with full aim at the sun. Creates great silhouettes.
A hug - Izzet

merhaba dear carlos

best regards.

Hi Carlos
Dominated dark silhouette of a climber and light of the Sun make so dramatic mood. Very interesting.

Hola Carlos, ..... estoy de acuerdo con Barrufeto, quizas un poco fuerte el fogonazo del Sol, al margen de esto es un encuadre de que gusta mucho, la silueta de tu compañero en plena ascensión al pico recortada sobre la nieve y las nubes son de un fuerte efecto dramático que también me gusta.

Enhorabuena por la foto y por la excursión.

Gracias y un saludo.

The colored light in the sky and on the snow, gives a dramatic feel together with your low POV on the man in counterlight with still a red detail, very impressive Carlos.

Hola Carlos,
malgrat la dificultat que sempre dóna la neu i la llum directa del sol entre els núvols a les fotos de muntanya, crec que te n'has sortit prou bé.
Captes perfectament l'ambient d'una ascensió, i la progressió per la neu, que sempre és pesada.
L'efecte misteriós de la llum cremant un tros de cel i formant les siluetes és molt gràfic i interessant. A més, el cansament quan ja s'arriba al cim afegeix més problemes a l'hora de fer fotos, ja que la respiració i el pols van accelerats.
Ben feta.
Salutacions,
Josep

Hola Carlos:
pensaba que era una foto del polo norte pero veo que no. El tipo de foto, la luz y demás, podria corresponderse con un fotograma de una peli de ciencia ficción. Me gusta como haces de lo cercano algo exótico o especial
un saludo

Hola Carlos,

Hoy toca observar esta, sin duda transmite sensaciones fuertes, la composición, la perspectiva y la atmósfera que ha creado la luz, nos traslada al lugar que nos muestras de una forma interesante, ¿tenias fuerzas para levantar la cámara y disparar? sin duda es un gran trabajo, diferente y bien ejecutado.

Leíste tu correo??

Saludos
José

Tenia que dejar critica en esta tambien..,un color increible,apetece sentarse a contemplar la vista en silencio...
Saludos
