Lake Azulcocha near Aussangate Photo

Photographer’s Note

This lake appears when walking from Jampa pass (5000 meters, near Ausangate summit) to Tinqui.
At that time we got this other view of Azulcocha lakes.
Here I was very lucky to shoot both the lakes and the mountain with the sun, because it got very cloudy...

Tres belle photo andine Georges, bonne profondeur et belles couleurs, mais ce qui a attire mon oeil c'est surtout la couleur du lac de gauche.

Très beaux contrastes de couleurs, en particulier, c'est la couleur du lac qui frappe. Je pense qu'à cette altitude, ça doit être pénible de marcher à cause du manque d'oxygène.

Fantastic picture. Very good depth, excellent clarity, nice colours, very nice lighting too. The whole is very well cought and rendered, with an excellent sharpness. Very well composed, not to much sky, your crop is also very good. Congratulations and thanks for sharing Georges.

La couleur des lacs est splendide.
Bravo.

Voilà une photo qui sort du lot. Bon équilibre des masses, cadrage adéquat, très belle lumière, versant bien éclairé, excellente netteté et couleurs très attrayantes. Essaie la même recette pour tes prochaines photos.

On dirait que la montagne a été saupoudrée de sucre fin. C'est une formidable photo.

Que de souvenirs me reviennent en tête en voyant ces 2 lacs !
Le guide s'était mis à nous conter la légende de ces lacs, nous étions comme des enfants, fascinés par ces dires.
Merci du partage et bonne photo de l'ensemble.

Très beau jeu de lumières qui renforce le côté imposant de ce sommet. Un beau contraste au niveau des couleurs.

Bonjour Georges,

Quelle belle photo!
Les couleurs de ces 2 lacs de montagne sont superbes. Ca rappelle l'ouest canadien sans vouloir faire de chauvinisme!
