[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The highest peak in the Ötztal Alps is the Wildspitze, at 3768 m (12,362 ft) is the second highest mountain in Austria, after the Großglockner.
The large number of glaciers and relatively easy routes make it popular with ice climbers (especially the North face).

Hi Francis,

Superb shot of the highest peak of Alp (in Austria)!
The sharpness and POV are perfect with great snow visible in the capture. The clouds bring mood into the capture.
Very well seen!

Hello, Francis -
Great image of this majestic peak, shrouded in mist. There is great contrast between the white snow and the black exposed rocks. Very sharp details. Well done.

Hi Francis

I like the minimalist composition here. The snow & ice enhance the graphism of this imposing peak. Good sharpness & flattened perspective from the zoom. Tfs!

Hi Francis,
Gorgeous view here. A good post- the inclusion of the clouds really adds to the mystique here. I bet it's a bit difficult to breath at this altitude. Nicely composed. TFS Julie

dear Francis Xavier,
wow!
a splendid view at moment, you took,
it is beautiful and mysterious.
white and black peak looks like a head of killer whale,
and cloud looks like a splash of sea.
it is miracle that this high mountain and the sea are similar...
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

A very powerful image. I really like the layer that the clouds create and how it creates great depth in the image. You also did well with exposure on the white snow. TFS

Hi Francis
