Unusual sight of this famous mountain. The sky, which is not the subject of your picture, is too important and the peaks appear to be so small compared to the man. You should have walked a few meters ahead in order to get the full landscape. No possibility to do it again, Andre?

Hi Andre,

I really like this shot, and unlike Clodo I actually think the low profile of the shot works well as it hints at the fabulous view you'd get when you move up to where the chap in the frame is stood. You've managed the exposure excellently, that sun star is really good and I definitely approve of your choice of black and white here too.

TFS,
Cheers
Simon

Interesting picture. The human figure seems to be praying to the Mountain Gods.

Hello Andre,
A fine back-light view with light so well managed. And a wonderful composition too, with the profile of the walker bringing the view to life.
Regards,
Paul

B&W works well here showing how timeless the landscape is. The man provides perspective and thought. TFS. Karin
