Starting a long road trip Photo

Photographer’s Note

De retour d'Argentine et du Brésil, après un parcours de 8000 kilomètres, voici ma première photo, avec l'un des lieux qui m'ont le plus impressionné: El Chalten en Patagonie, au Nord du parc national des Glaciers. Le Mont Fitz Roy est parmi les sommets les plus inaccessibles, et n'a été gravi pour la première fois qu'en 1952, par l'alpiniste français Lionel Terray.

I've just come back from Argentina and Brasil, after more than 8000 kilometers hitting the road. Here's my first picture, from one of the places that impressed me the most: El Chalten, Patagonia, on the Northern part of the Glaciers national parc. The Fitz Roy is famous as one of the most challenging climbs around the world, and it was successfully climbed only in 1952, by French alpinist Lionel Terray.

Hello Jerome!
That's a pretty nice picture! I really like the use of the road leading our eyes to the fantastic background! I still don't know this region in Argentina, but it's surely in my future plans!
Excellent sharpness and management of light! Natural and beautiful colors!
TFS - Congratulations!
Warmest regards,
Neyvan

The Fitzroy Massive is simply amazing and I think your picture hits the spot! I like the POV with el Chaltén in front because it highlights nicely the greatness of the mountain! Well done!
