Laguna Amarga with coirón grass - Torres del Paine N.P - Patagonia (Chile)

This is my second visit this winter, and this time the Towers were to be seen

with very good light, but no clouds unfortunately. So I repeated the shot of the

other day with the coirón grass, but now with the towers. 08:00 h in the

morning, with Polar filter and HD Graduated filter 2. Thanks for ratings and

critiques.

Beautiful light, wonderful light and an enticing image.

For what it is worth, I have just about eliminated using a polarizer on my wide-angle Sigma 10-20mm (effective 15 - 30mm on DX) because I don't like the uneven density in the sky. It is a matter of personal taste, I suppose. 

 

 

Love the contrasting colours and the foreground detail. The low light really makes a difference. 

I know exactly what Tony refers to regarding the polarising filter, I had similar problems when used on a clear sky. Not so noticeable, if at all when used during cloudy conditions.

 

Very well done! 

 

Best Regards

I can see this as a poster sized, high gloss print.  Gorgeous... Mike

A very nice image, well composed, I like the balance with the warm colors of the grass and the blu of the sky and the lake, ciao Giangiorgio

I like the closer emphasis of the foreground more than earlier shots ... thanks for sharing with PN community

Superb landscape,not to every one to be there and see this.I like how you composed and worked,colors complete each other so well,compliments for this photo.

Thanks for all your critics and v ery good ratings. Yes I know, I am bit  slave of the polar filter. Should take more photos with and without filter and decide later which one is the best shot. I will also rectify a bit the horizon, toward the left.

Great light and beautiful colour.

A magnificent landscape, very interesting fg and dramatic mountain scene.7/7 

Excellent composition but just because you use a polarizer doesn't mean you have to fully polarize the scene. A slight polarizaton might have worked better. 

Wonderful image. Bravo!
