Hi Tan
Although you took this some years ago, your timing is very appropriate as the first snow arrives across much of Europe... The lighting here really brings out the detail and colour in the rocks, and the POV is great, looking down on those jagged peaks. The golden cross adds an attractive focal point and immediately makes us feel less remote.

Spectacular subject for which you must have risked your life! The gold-colour cross combined with the rocks, snow and blue sky. Impressive!

Nice shot, Tam !
Beautiful image of the mountains covered with snow. It's curious to see the golden cross as a landmark.
Regards,

Celso

Hi, Tan. An interesting view from Zugspitze. The ridge in the foreground leads the eye to the mountains far away and the golden cross on the top stands out very well against the blue sky. Good colors on the rocks too. I spot a white line in the bottom left of the picture.

Was it difficult to climb this mountain Tan? I would like to join you next time you go there. About the photo, just to say that you present us here a perfect representation of what this mountains are: Solids.

I like the positioning of the cross which boosts the interest and fits in with the natural curve of the mountain here

Great panoramic, Tan. The deep view of rugged peaks towards the background is inspiring to watch, the hovering clouds are well shown, and the summit cross at the top left is a great detail to have included. In terms of post-work, you carried it out expertly as usual, although I find the brightening in the rock at the foreground left a bit too obvious compared to the rest of the rock faces inside the frame (I may be wrong, I'm just describing what it looks like to me). At any case, nice to see you post this one from Germany ;)

Hi Tan,
Being a mountain climber, I'm happy you chose this photo instead of the one in the WS. Nice details with the golden cross at the top and the birds in the sky and I like the way the ridge leads our eyes into the background.
Have a nice Sunday.

Grûss Gott Captain,
I wonder whether you sleep when you're on a holiday trip ;-)
Spectacular PoV here to have this overlooking view over the sea of peaks, I like the light falling well onto the first range and the inclusion of the shining cross is an essential addition to this composition.
have a nice sunday,
Jean-Yves

Hello Tan,

I think snowy pictures are going to come with dozens the next weeks. Here we had already a lot of snow. The picture in the WS isn't bad either, I think.

I like both views. The puffy cloud on the workshop photo is a great bonus!

On this one I like how the gold cross breaks up the peaks and adds an element of interest to the composition.

Hi Tan. Actually I think I prefer this view over the WS. I love how you have shown the power and beauty of the peaks in the distance. It feels like an impenetrable wall of mountains. Beautiful landscape Tan.

Hi Tan

A superb view of the Bavarian Alps. I like the subtle color contrast, betwen the gold pole at left, & the blue sky. Good work!

Hi Tan,
A well composed and inspiring shot of this highest point. Superb DOF and good clarity, as one can see all the crevices and almost feel the texture of the rocks. The little clouds in mid-frame are most enhancing. Well captured.
