[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Shot taken of the Gorner Glacier as clouds tumble over the tops of the high peaks of the Swiss Alps. (to me they form what looks like a hand)

The Gorner Glacier (German: Gornergletscher) is a valley glacier found on the Monte Rosa massif close to Zermatt in the canton of Valais, Switzerland. It is about 14 km long and 1 to 1.5 km wide. The entire glacial area of the glacier related to Gorner Glacier is 68 km², which makes it the second largest glacial system in the Alps after the Aletsch Glacier system. Numerous smaller glaciers connect with the Gorner Glacier. It is the source of the Gornera river which flows down through Zermatt itself.

excellent shot ron. reminds me of ansel adams photos. great angle this is shot at and the photo is brilliant. the glaciers are awesome with the clouds coming over them. nice sharp photo and the contrast is good. the black and white works well for this shot. i like the light in this photo, not to bright for a snow scene just perfect. the black ridges on the glaciers really add a good combination with the white of the snow and both blend together well for this image..nice sky too and a good shot..phil

What a stunning picture and it looks allthe better being in black and white. Amazing and good notes too.

This is stunning. There is a mysterious-dangerous mood here. Excellent.

Hello Ron!

Simply superb Black and white shot. The contrasts and light are excellent. It does look like a giant hand. We are expecting a troll to appear {^_^). I am adding it to my favorite B&W shots .
Cheers!

This is simply stunning! The clouds are like a giant avalanche, the conversion to B&W makes this for me, i'm quite sure the colour version is no where near as dramatic.

This should be hung on your wall as about a 30" print!

FANTASTIC!!!

Creo firmemente que la esencia de la fotografía está en las composiciones monocromáticas, esta tuya es emocionante, sólo una gran foto en blanco y negro es capaz de conmover, gracias por dejar esta gran imagen a nuestro alcance.

breathtaking
also the black and white adds to the beautifull compostion
well done
