Mont Séti

The beautiful conical peak of the Mont Séti and the creek known as

Reculaz, a tributary of the River Arc in Haute Maurienne, Western

Alps, France.

It had been overcast for most of the afternoon but I was quite

confident the sky would have broken as it wasn't a big front and the

wind was strong. So I just waited a good while and was rewarded at the

end with this moody scene at sunset.

 

Your C&C are as always welcome, thanks in advance for your time.

This is a pano of three verticals, have a look at the larger image for

much better details

It is a beautiful image with wonderful light, composition and motion. Nicely done. Dan

Wow Paolo! Another fine display of nature captured. I really love blurred flowing water. Here in Bakersfield, we don't have this kind of flow, very dry country. Those peaks are imposing and the sky is a gift from above. My only minor thought is the in-balance between the foreground and the peaks themselves, probably the grad shadow. I think you could get away with bracketing and farm detail from the brighter exposures, problem is (and I have experienced this myself) the amount of time it takes just to make one image. I have blended from 4 verticals taken at two different exposures, meaning 8 total exposures. When making long exposures, you could be shooting for a couple of minutes before you have what you need for one image. It is often a compromise that makes the best final output, in this case, you have provided the most meaningful parts of the scene, the flowing water and the great sky. The peaks falling into near silhouette is a happy medium and an acceptable compromise. It is another grand scene from you!

Very beautiful shot, well composed.

breathtaking scenery well captured Paolo. Great DOF and nice water blur effect. Beautiful light in the background. Nice work - michel

Have a weakness for this kind of motif, nice saturated. Well shooted.

Glorious this IS... Bravo!
