Torres del Paine #5 Photo

Photographer’s Note

It's hard not to keep on shoting and shoting in this gorgeous place as everything changes at any head movement and even at any time as the sky is changing any second. It was not easy to shot as the wind was very strong and a tripod could not be used. We had to wait for a favorable wind to click and shot.

Hi Carlos,
Welcome to TE.
This is surreal. I have trouble believing that this is an actual photo. What an amazing background and a gorgeous foreground to boot!
Very sharp, excellent contrast and those beautiful Andes.
I'm including this photo among my favorites.
Thnaks for sharing.
Regards,
Paul

Olá Carlos, esta fotografia ficou muito bonita. As cores ficaram muito bem definidas e o enquadramento soberbo. Valeu bem a pena a espera do vento favorável. Parabéns!

Hello Carlos,
Looks like a fairy tale place, or as the next scene for Lords of the Ring. What a sky and mountains contrasting with the green lush foreground !
Well done.
Regards,
Paul

Hi Carlos,
I`m looking at the thumbnail and I`m saying to myself:"What the heck is that??".
Then I opened the photo and I said :"How on Earth did he shoot it?"
I`m amazed by your talent and so,"Welcome to Trekearth!"
Regards,
Nelu

Hi Carlos.

Wops! Excellent picture. Possibly the best today in TE. That clouds and its dramatism are impressive!

Bonjour Carlos,
C'est avant tout une très belle lumière qui fait resplendir les couleurs dans une superbe composition dense et riche en détails, sans être surchargée, où le regard trouve de nombreux points d'accroche à explorer.
A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.

A breathtaking picture! If i hadn't been there myself and seen the colours, i'd say its a HDR :) Good composition, although a bit more sky, a little less ground and id be even more amazing! All in all a very atmospheric and dynamic scenery - the horses, colourful houses, and the almost frightening cuernos del paine, surrounded by the usual wild weather, as a contrast! Congrats!
