Mount Cook - and the Landscape around it Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a view of Mount Cook from a distance. Sir Edmund Hillary practised on Mount Cook, before venturing on Mount Everest. When I visited Mount Cook, Sir Ed had just passed away. NZ flags were at half mast. It was a very emotional experience. I will be posting some close-ups of the mountain later-on.

When I took the photo, it came up quite bland. So I opened it in Irfanview, pressed 'shift+u' and viola.

Hello Behram,

Classical point of view using the reflection of the lake, but I must admit it is working very well.
I would have only suggest a cropping of the photo going for a panoramic frame is order to remove a little a part of the bottom of the photo. I think the composition will be more equilibrated in a panoramic mode.

Yves.
