Longing.

What does this shot tell you?

To me, talks about longing for the mountains...both me and poor iceaxe from the closet.

Suggestions for a better title, and on mountain pictures in general,are most welcome!

Ah, shoud you curious to see what this looks from the back-side, hereit is!

p.s. I think this is nicer seen larger...

La foto di per s蠨 "solo" bella, per� siccome mi piace tanto la montagna, ho visto (quasi) tutte le altre. Torner� a guardarti

I like the photo itself and like too the way you play with the lines. IMHO this one would be perfect if the ice axe was made of wood. Nice photo anyway.

Well, without reading your thoughts, my thought was "Almost there, just a little more." Composition works well, though not as dramatic as your others. The scale confuses me some, not understanding the vastness of this area. The polarizer effects are a bit strong.

Giovanni, grazie!

Ander, you gave me some ideas... I could try and purchase some old-looking ax with a wood shaft (there are couple places where these are still manifactured, mainly for easy large-group outings). I could get it battered a bit, then bring it with me to shot pictures to tone in sepia!

Thai, indeed, the sense of scale is very confusing here, as this was shot from a ridge. this shot could give some deeper sense of the scale of the Dt.Blanche. It is mostly climbed from the other side.

Sigues haciendo las mismas bellezas de siempre, perfecta imagen, luz, color y un bello encuadre, saludos cordiales Salvatore.

Julio, Gracias. Son fotos viejas, del anyo pasado. Vamos a ver si este verano conseguire hacer mehor!

It woul be great if you changed your Gore-Tex and weared those old clothes we all know from teh past times, with some pitons hanging and those old (scary) ropes. But that would be too difficult!!

 

Waiting to see your idea. ;-)

I love this image. I find the deep, saturated blue of the sky particularly appealing (although I know others may find it a little too rich). The frozen textures of the snow have been beautifully captured, and I love the concept of the axe - it underlines the theme!
