Suspense Green Photo

Photographer’s Note

Picos de Europa: Fonte Dé

I was going down in the other cable car. The view from up there is just amazing.

With a surface of 64.660 ha, Montaña de Covadonga is the second largest national park of Spain after Sierra Nevada. Was declared national park by his Magesty D. Alfonso XIII in 1918, the first in Spain and one of the first in the world.

The cable car concluded in 1966 has two-cable system without intermediate supports, with the lowest station to level 1070m and the upper one to level 1823m, difference that was crossed in a single opening with 1419m of cable, in the amphitheatre of Fuente Dé (Camaleño), near the source of the Deva river. The upper station finishes next to the viewpoint of the cable, from where a magnificent panoramic view of the Valley of Camaleño and the Cantabrian Mountain Range is contemplated.

This is quite a dizzying view, Daniel. I assume you took this from down-bound cable car? Anyway, you framed your shot nicely with the red cable car at the left, and the view down the green hill towards the buildings on the ground. You could try to sharpen this some more in the editor to increase the impact. Nice shot!

I added this into my "Vertigo" theme, if you don't mind.

Very nice picture with the red car creating an interesting balance with the dark buildings at the other corner. A small lack of definition, I am afraid ...

The framing of the red cable car gives a lot of depth to this picture. A little sharpening would do no harm. Nice shot anyway.

Adoro a perspectiva.A sensação de altura. Só é pena não estar um pouca mais nitida.
Parabéns

I really love this photo. It makes me feel something.. it´s like our life could be suspended like the cable car you shot.. I also enjoy the intensity of the green. I must have been a nice trip! Keep up with the good work! :)

Excellent POV! Very dizzying! Good composition too. Maybe a little shaprening might help. Great photo. JP

Fantastic perspective and great composition even if the image is a little fuzzy.

Your perspective really makes this a quality shot. And that red cable car truly pops out from the dominantly green background making it eye catching. Very nice!
