valle d'aosta And suddenly, winter.

I caught this image off the top banner on the main photo.net home page.

it was an eye catching Image for me!

the over all light tone works for me, from the land and tree shadows to the Mountain sky highlights. I just luv it pure and simple

I absolutely love that foreground Paolo, heck I'd be happy to see a pano crop of the bottom. Ok, but the mountain and the rest is beautiful too :)

I agree with Marc that the color is a bit intense for a natural interpretation, particularly knowing that there is direct relatively bright light on the peak's base. With ND and GND filters it's really easy to get a crazy magenta cast that can be really hard to remove, but maybe you can take it down a little? The blues look a bit electric too. I'm only being so critical because I really do like this image!

Ciao Paolo! e pensare quanto "turistico" è questo lago in certi periodi dell'anno!! tra la versione a colori e quella in bn per me sempre a colori!!

complimenti, Enrico

The ray of light and the clouds gives the photo momentum.  Could have done without the

snow at the bottom...a big distraction of what's going on up higher.
