I just came back from a wonderful holiday in Switserland. The land has stolen my heart. It's a beautiful country with great mountains. We went to the Aletsch glacier and the vieuw was stunning as you can see. We expected it to be very cold but the sun was quit strong. The glacier is disappearing quit fast. My sister was here a few years ago and she could see the difference already. Isn't that sad to know ?

Hi Willimien,

Wow, what a powerful capture of the breathtaking with wonderful details!
The colors are perfectly shown and so are the sharpness and DOF. The POV is very well chosen. The color contrast between the blue sky and the landscape, is simply great! The cloud formation give a volcano-eruption like appearance here.
Very well seen shot!

best regards,
Paras

PS: I'm sorry, as I have already consumed my points for today :( please bear with me.

Hi Willemien,
it's an amazing view with nice colors and lighting.
The placement of the people at FG really works for the title.
It is still a stunning view.

Hi Willemien,
An amazing mountainscape with fabulous lighting.
An interesting POV with the immensity of the glacier compared with the human being.
A lovely composition and a deep DOF.
Very well presented.

HI Willie
The cloud hovering over the glacier almost makes it look like a smoking volcano.
The entrance of the rocky land into the frame adds to the perspective. You chose a very good place to capture it and the ice flow.

Thanks Willemien, I went there, 10 years ago... I hiked along this ice road, a great memory,

thanks, you pictures is great with the mountain who smoke !!

Hi Willemien,

that's sad ofcourse. what I liked here is the comparison and the clouds over the mountains which are adding to this pic. simply stunning view here with correct use of exposure here. quite a good contrast here with the blue sky at the b/g. also the pov is great.

Tfs,
Sanjib.

Hoi Willemien,

Wat een prachtige foto van deze gletscher.
Wat een mooi licht en kleuren, mooi genomen vanaf dit standpunt, geeft inderdaad de nietigheid van ons mensen goed weer( zie ik daar een bekend persoon?)
Superscherp van voor tot achter, complimenten.
Groetjes en tot kijk!
