Hi Maurizio. If it wasn't for those ridiculous baseball hats, this picture would have had a timeless appeal, especially with the blurred and almost sepia treatment that you have givent to the picture. Well done - you have created a wonderful atmosphere. Ciao. Klaudio

How photography can be used to keep a dream turned reality into past to dream about.
Those snow caps in July fit the surrealistic atmosphere...

very cool atmosphere, the blur on the edge gives a feeling of waking up with eyes still tired, the near to monochrome with the clouds and snow gives a feeling of coldness.
Very nice.

Very nice and good one!
Did not you use diffuse filter for this?

Really like it! What kind of post-production did you do after taking this photo? I think that the blurr is a little to strong, at least as far as the clouds on the left are concerned.

Best regards and TFS!

Hi Maurizio!

this is a very nice shot; I like it :)

The background is breathtaking, those mountains are enormous and wonderful to look at.
It seems to me, those guys on horses are thinking the same.

Postprocessing this shot in sepia enhances the impressions.

Nice work
