All that white...and a couple silhouettes huddled together, a single one hurrying... Yes, I definetely like it, less is more. It all comes out, the cold, the beauty too...

Hey George, now I never would have put you down as a mountain climber - and in all that snow too! It's way too far from the street, or the passenger seat of your friends car, or the warm Peruvian cantina!

Love the "white out" and lack of any horizon. And that poor isolated figure almost looks unsuitably dressed to be out in those conditions - trying desperately to rejoin the group in the distance. Very chilly atmosphere.

Warm regards, Roberto

Even your nature photos are unique, George. Your subject looks too "urban" to be in the middle of nowhere on a glacier. His outfit looks too thin for the snow storm, too. And I like this photo a lot because it is different, intriguing and artistic.

Ten snieg jakby padajacy mnie najbardziej zauroczyl i te olowkowe cienie szkicujace ksztlaty w bieli.. pan jest niestosownie ubrany.. gdyby byl w futrze, moja wyobraznia siegnela by pierwszych wypraw polarniczych.. nowoczesny sznyt na podrozniczo-archetypicznym tle..

bardzo lubie jak na zdjeciu jest malo.. 1, 2 trafne pociagniecia pedzlem i zamknieta kompozycja.. to mnie niezwykle zachwyca..
z pozdrowieniami, Agnieszka

Yes, George. I was in Greenland, in the North of Canada and even at the North Pole (90 parallel!) with my husband Dominic. He was just not a big photographer but a great lover of the white and cold. This to tell you that I love your pic. But why the man is running away? Fear? About what? Just the solitude? Or the life? Take care, A.P.

to jak czasami przepalenia spowodowane przekontrastowaniem działaja korzystnie wciąż mnie zadziwia...
nie lubię fotografowac pleców, ale w tym przypadku takie spojrzenie pokazuje, że wspinamy się, że przed nami wciąż jeszcze droga daleka...
pozdr. j.

Wiesz, jaka mam slabosc do wysokokluczowych obrobek...
Zawsze prowokuje to u mnie oniryczne skojarzenia.
Pieknie, nastrojowo...
Ale bardziej niz "departure", takie mam wrazenie, jak gdyby chodzilo o spoznionego wedrowca, usilujacego dogonic peleton...
Sciskam. Grazyna.

Departure! Yes, this was the image I needed, G. What a great sense of storm I see here. The guy looks like having dificulties walking against the strong wind. Looks like a drawing from a comic book. So dramatic, so white, so beautiful...Always learning with your presentations.
Thanks a lot,
ric

I'm not a fan of overexposure. But here, I see a reason to it. As long as I can see a reason to it, I will be quiet about it! :)
White as snow and cold and "thin air" and the silence of high peeks... White as the new land, the new world where we are hoping to arrive eventually. If there is "departure", there is "arrival" no? And the gray is there to remind us that we are not into the void... there is always some solid rocks around. And some other fellow human beings ready to accept the newcomer into their group.
...!
See what a photo can do to me? :)))
Love it!
Claire
