Bonjour Laurent,
une fantastique photo d'alpinisme, Alain a raison de souligner que l'on en a peu de ce calibre sur TE.
On sent le danger et la maitrise sur cette photo.
Bravo pour cette aventure au Pérou.

A precarious moment captured beautifully.
Makes you feel on the edge.

Très belle photographie de haute montagne. Mieux ne valait pas glisser.

Perfect mountaineering photo! Respect!)
but isn't it a descent (I mean, on the photo itself)? could be a part of ascent, of course).
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for a beautiful picture. I am glad that in such conditions people remember about the camera.
Maybe lightening shadows a little bit would make this mountain view look "higher"?..

A outstanding dynamic and dramatic picture composition. The landscape and the extreme sportsmen are outstanding photographed. Also light and shade make the photo worth seeing. A very beautiful picture. Many greetings, Wolfgang.

All I can say is wow! That is just hardcore and quite beautiful.

Bonsoir Laurent,
Gloups, c'est vertigineux dis donc! Faut espérer ne pas croiser du monde :o)

Joli jeux de lumière et cadrage nickel.
Amicalement

A shot with loads of impact. You did well to capture it so well Laurant. I'm a little suprised that none of the climbers seem to be in a belay position ! If one fell the whole lot would go !
Hopefully they all survived the climb.

Regards Chris

Laurent this is a double winner: not only the energy and achievement of the climbers but also the majestic scenery. The overall composition and superb quality - look at that top notch exposure of the snow - make it a winning pic. Got it really right. Thanks for sharing!
Regards, Robert

Hi Laurent,

Best wishes,

Excellent sense of mood you've captured here. It looks fierce and foreboding. Great clarity in the details of the mountains. The lighting is very dramatic. It favored you well at that moment to capture the textures of the snow and rocks.

Excelent:)

Hello Laurent
Your mountain-pictures are beautiful. This one is special. The people on the steepy ridge are making this shot more than a postcard. Excellent DOF, composition and colours.
TFS,
Huub de K.

Bonsoir Laurent,

Photo très bien composée, j'aime beaucoup cette crête qui mène notre regard au fond, ponctuée des alpinistes. Mais surtout, la lumière est très belle et crée un jeu d'ombre très vivant !

Amicalement,
Stéphanie.

Bonjour Laurent,

Magnifique paysage montagnard. On en prend plein les poumons. C'est vertigineux, attention au faux pas.
Belle lumière et netteté.
Beau travail.

Bien amicalement.

Jean-Charles.

salut!
je ne sais pas comment cette image a pu m'échapper... c'est superbe ! outre le sujet, impressionnant, je trouve les contrastes particulièrement bien réussis.
Je me trompe ou bien il y a une cordée qui monte et une qui descend?
de manière générale, je trouve ta galerie de photos très intéressante. Je suppose que tu connais déjà le site www.summitpost.com - tu y trouves aussi de superbes clichés d'alpinisme de ce genre.

amicalement

Bonjour Laurent,
Superbe image. Bravo pour le cadrage parfait.
Le versant droit de la crête, soleil rasant, permet de mettre l'accent sur l'ambiance. Cela donne vraiment envie !!!
Les tons sont remarquables.

Stéphane

Bandit (2058) 2006-10-12 13:55

Impressionnante image! On dirait du noir & blanc mais ce n'en n'est pas ! Elle montre toute la difficulté d'une telle ascension!
Notre oeil suit naturellement la cordée pour regarder ensuite les montagnes à l'arrière plan.
Superbe !! Bravo !!

highman (1183) 2006-10-25 12:15

hello,

This is the real mountaineering photo. Great composition and light taken despite so difficult conditions. You start to take pictures in places where I begin to turn back and descent:) Thanks for sharing such outstanding views.

Wojtek

pascalmoret (1711) 2006-10-25 14:24

Salut Laurent. Ta photo de haute montagne est vraiment superbe. L'angle de vue est superbe, avec cette arrête qui amène le regard vers les sommets de l'arrière-plan. Bravo pour la photo et également pour avoir porté l'appareil à ces altitudes :-) Pascal

Chris_Pastella (28) 2007-01-23 15:46

Amazing picture, wonderful scenery. rgds, chris

hookery (621) 2007-05-18 11:27

Una gran fotografía. Tecnicamente es dificil lograr el equilibrio de contrastes en el hielo cuando hay sol y nubes... exelente

El lugar es espectacular

el sombrero rosado es muy nice jeje

enginmavi (89) 2007-08-23 5:07

Hi Laurent,
Good picture at all...
I've climbed the highest mountain of Turkey (5.157 m), called Agri (Ararat) Mountain years ago...
I've remembered those days... It was exciting and fantastic...
Thanks for reminding me those feelings...
Best
Hakan

Great mountaineering shot, true sense of adventure, I wish I was there.
