Landscape for the people!, a photo from Santa Cruz, South

Photographer's Note

Sometimes the only way to get to certain places is to be packed on a touristy boat. I didn’t do it many times in my life because often I feel that it really spoils the experience.

This photo was taken on a catamaran excursion to Upsala glacier in national park “Los Glaciers”. We were packed on this touristy boat for whole day. It can be tiring, but in overall, when I look at some of the shots I brought from this place, I realize that it worth it.

I was lucky to have a sit next to the window, and not just a window, but one that you can actually open :-) so I took this shot through it. The reflection is from the windows next to me.

I cropped the right side of the photo, but you can find the original version, as a workshop.

Wonderful shot Alon; you were right to crop as this makes a more powerful image. I love the composition to include the people on the left. This shot alone makes your uncomfortable journey worthwhile

Hi Alon.
I've seen the WS and I like both versions, are different but I like the two.
Well, the composition is good and you make a different photo, I mean that many people would do a people where they only could see the landscape. You has added one "human touch" that I like very much. What is that touch? All the people of the photo.
Regards.
