Hi Bill

That is a very interesting shot. I guess not many people go there and it must be pretty cold as well. I like the composition despite the bad weather you had. The mountains in the mist add great DOF to your shot but also some mystery. Colors and sharpness are adequate, especially the latter is a bit on the soft side. Nonetheless well done

Best regards
Urs

Hello Bill,

This is a magnificent shot, displaying first rate light management. The resolution in the foreground is superb, the fast shutter speed has frozen the helicopter's blades in suspended animation, and the background is hazy and amorphous. I plan to import this beauty into my gallery of favorites. The shaft-like rocky outcropping is evocative of the terrain around Meteora in Greece.
