[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This weekend we hiked to the Barrier Lake Fire Lookout. This is an active fire lookout on the highest point of MacConnell Ridge. The day was excellent for hiking as the temperatures soared to about 20C. Our group had 14 people and we made the trip despite a wet and muddy trail. It was fun though because of the good company and excellent view from the top and also the bottom. I took about 100 pictures during this short hike and maybe 60 or so are worth it to show here. I will however show only a few so as not to bore people. Cheers.

Hi Roberto!
Really beautiful place for a hiking. I like those dramatic mountains and of course the beautiful colors of this photo. The composition is also great.
Well done!

Best wishes,
Eino

Her body expression seams to be of someone very attentive to where put the feet or even quite tired from the effort. Anyway, I like the way you framed the picture giving plenty of space to the front of the person. Also, you have here a good composition and excellent colours.

Roberto

Nice job,

Hi Roberto,

Hi ROberto
Excellent composition with the blue person on the snow and snowy mountains in the background. Great light and colours.

The human element adds interest to the natural scenery, but, for the sake of photograpy, she should have worn all reds instead of blues!! :-)

Hi Roberto,
I like this kind of image very much. Colours are very beautiful. The temperature was pleasant, as you said on your note and the picture gives this impression.
Thanks for sharing,
MCV

Hola Roberto
la foto se ve muy bien, realmente la vista es bonita y el fin de semana fue espectacular. La luz y los colores salieron muy buenos. Para mi en este caso la chica en primer plano hace que las montañas pierdan un poco la dimension.
de cualquier forma la foto esta muy buena

Hello Roberto
The woman presence gives us an interesting scale evaluation of the landscape.
Strange Greek name of this mountain; the view is magnificient.
Cheers.

Hello Roberto
Only 100 pictures ;D
An excellent view on the mountains with the human presence in front adding depth to the scene...the blue color of her clothes fit to the one of the sky ;D The line of white cloud on top is an extra bonus!
Cheers
Marilyn
