Pathway to the Peaks

I am have recently been doing alot of back packing skiing and

snowshoeing using whatever I can to get to higher elevations. This was

taken In British Columbia in the back country. I took some time off

work and waited the bad weather for a week before I was able to get my

first sunny day this year I saw the S-Curve and knew I could return

when the light was better and creating some shadows. I waited for the

late afternoon light and got the shadows I was looking for. The only

thing I was I could change is the wind was blowing the snow and made

some of the middle ground fuzzy. I have chosen to keep the image as I

saw with cool tones and remember it as I saw it. Freezing cold ! I

took this with my new G9 and I shot it without a tripod or filters.

 

Thanks for any comments or critiques

Nice photograph! Regards.

Your efforts paid out well, this is truly sublime! The color cast is very natural.

Breathtaking Kevin!

Thanks for the look...

Beautiful winter scene, great depth.

It's a wonderful image, and frankly I like the fuzzy foreground and the snow blow in the middle. Bravo!

Love the composition and the cool tone. Great photo!

Wonderful shot!

Simply fabulous! Gorgeous comp and exposure. Cheers! Chris

Stupenda!!!!

A great shot taken at an unbelievable beautiful spot. I envision the bottom a little cropped maybe? Because the top is so detailed and the bottom so plain. I think that the difference is too stark. My eyes just keep staring at the far distance, lovely pinks and blues. I'll check out your site.... Very nice picture.

I love the composition. It's wonderfully balanced. The blue is a bit overwhelming to me, though.

Gorgeous image. I see the foreground softness as a plus, it does not keep the eye down, but leads much more easliy into the mountainscape in the background. Very suggestive icy blue colors.

De una belleza extraordinaria 7/6 anon.

Lovely shot. S curve is very beautifully places to lead to the peaks. Blue is slightly stronger, but at the end it is wonderful creation.

All a world of sensations... frozen, love it!! Beautiful composition and color tones. Congratulations. Regards.

This is a real beauty of an image. Tone, composition - the lot!

I have a G9, it's really gonna have to pull it's finger out now I've seen what they can do!!

This is freaking phenomenal Kevin!! Saw it on your website this week end and couldn't wait for you to post it! I am sooooo jealous ;-D.

I've been staring at it for a while, I couldn't come out with much to say.....I guess sometimes you have to be content with just looking at something you like, and say nothing at all. Beauty may render you wordless.

Excellent!!

Great shot!

Nice color temperature and composition,well done indeed!.../Ron

Excellent work, Kevin! Wionderfully unique perspective.

Kevin, I love the soft,simple shadowed curve leading to the more detailed background. Shooting in the cold and wind is a challenge you've mastered. Amazing image. Regards.

Absolutely gorgeous shot.
