Emosson, a photo from Valais, West

Photographer's Note

Le barrage se trouve dans le canton du Valais, sur la rive gauche du Rhône au-dessus de Martigny. Il est alimenté par les eaux du massif du Mont-Blanc. Le Barrage d'Émosson est le troisième plus haut barrage de Suisse après celui de la Grande-Dixence et celui de Mauvoisin.

Amazing POV, Olivier. The height and scale of the dam is well expressed, and the scene behind it is incredible in its own right - had you cropped the dam out and simply presented the upper third as its own composition it would have been quite beautiful! With the dam, it is both beautiful and impressive. My one criticism is that I would have liked to see the walkway included all the way to the lower edge of the frame, rather than vanishing for the most part, but that is a small matter in an otherwise excellent b&w shot.

Bonjour Olivier ,
Je trouve que l'utilisation du N&B convient très bien à ce genre de sujet . Cela renforce l'aspect un peu inquiétant de ce grand barrage de béton . LA composition est excellente , mais comme Andrew , je me demande si ce n'est pas cadré un peu trop serré à droite .
Amicalement

Hi Olivier
now thats a cool way to compose a photo of a damn!
I'll have to keep this in mind the next time i travel to Las Vegas and the Hoover damn.
wonderful and sexy looking curve that expands the width of the frame.
wonderful shot
cheers

Salut Olivier
Superbe cadrage qui joue parfaitement avec la courbe du barrage.
Le passage au noir blanc melangé à ce ciel donne une superbe ambiance.
Bravo
Christophe

Bonjour Olivier
une vue très impressionante du barrage de Emosson. Superbe point de vue qui donne une bonne dynamisme à la composition. Bonne idée aussi de presenter cette scene en blanc et noir.
bonne soirée
Daniel

Hello Olivier - I love the sweeping curve of the dam wall, even against the magnificent scenery it has a powerful presence thanks to your composition and POV. You choice of B&W allows the wall to take centre stage, no colour distractions and a seamless presentation. Go well. Rosemary

Hello Olivier,

Excellent point of view: the curves of the dam
creates a lots of depth and also a lots of
highness. The vertical position emphasize the
highness extra. Composition and light management
are great. The B&W makes the picture timeless.

Friendly regards,
Robert Alderliefste
