Fantastic image, excellent symmetric composition. The light is great and the colors very pleasant - how close to reality is the dark blue of the sky? Simply beautiful.

Magnifique reflet et très belle photo. J'aime le contraste entre le blanc de la neige et le ciel très sombre. De plus c'est un beau souvenir pour moi car j'ai eu l'occasion de gravir ce sommet en 1986. Merci France.

Cette photo est aussi un souvenir pour moi. J'ai été dans la région de Putre en 1994 pour observer une éclipse de Soleil. C'était grandiose dans une région magnifique.
La photo est splendide sur le plan des couleurs. La neige du sommet apporte du contraste à l'image. La lumière est également très belle.

Really impressive picture.
the light ,colors and symetry of the view strengthen the feeling of wide space.
just too bad that we don't have the top and the reflection.
bravo anyway.

Excellent composition with great colors and superb reflections! A bit of noise maybe could be fixed with Neatimage! Check my WS for this!

The reflection is very nice and the colors very "colored" !!

Excellent shot. Not so much because of the reflection (which is beautiful of course), but because of the colours, shadows and light. The dark sky and the snow make a stunning contrast. Great!

Superbe reflet dans ce lac et ce qui me plait particulièrement c'est le bleu très intense du ciel et la blancheur de la neige.
Bien vu France et merci de partager.

Almost graphical for the sober lines. The strongest point of this picture are the colors, almost innatural but still acceptable dark steel cool sky in contrast to the warm brown landscape with a popping up white mountain. In one word the power of isolating targets by lightening. So this is perfect, incongruent by colors and lightening put to the extreem as a scandlape I mean cause there is no human being present, wich I higly value, so it could be seen on Mars maybe too ? (teasing).

re bonsoir France,
je viens de me promener sur ta galerie et je la trouve particulierement riche en couleurs et en voyages.
Celle-ci par exemple est superbe, ce doit être des moments inoubliables.
bien retranscrit.
et ici je pense que le positionnement central est obligatoire.
belle photo

Good shot! You've balanced this composition very well indeed. It's a shame that you've had to cut the top of the mountain with the mud in the foreground though. I've posted a Workshop with another crop which doesn't show that - of course that means I've lost your wonderful reflection... There's a bit of noise in the sky which I'd probably get rid of - although NeatImage is an option, in this situation I'd just select the sky and apply a Gaussian Blur to it! Excellent capture :-D

What a very nice scenery. I like the effect of shadows and reflection in this early morning shot. I might consider including the peak in the reflection.

A remarkable shot. everythings clear and nice exposure. Just Wow!

pure, nette, belle. Des couleurs très justes, à la fois sobres et vives. Calme et sérénité se dégagent paisiblement de ce monstre endormi. Cette photo est sublime. Seule petite note: et si tu coupait la partie sombre en bas de la photo, qui franchement n'apporte pas grand chose ?

A lot have been written already of this very pretty picture, but are you 100% certain that this is the Sajama? I have this other picture of the (I think) same mountain, and according to my Bolvian map of Bolivia, this shouldn't be the Sajama.
Just a question.

Salut France.
C'est une photo fantastique. Il ne s'agit cependant pas du Sajama mais du Parinacota (6333m)situé en bordure du lac Chungara. Le Sajama est lui en Bolivie à environ 30 km à vol d'oiseau et pas de lac à son pied. il n'est pas aussi conique que celui ci.

It's a very atractive picture, the mirror reflection looks very natural and very clear nonwaves.
sharply taken, i like the theme and the filtration, because the filtration is one of the principal secrets that contains this image. good one

Hi there, this image is breaking all rules of the good composition - its situated in the middle of horizontal and vertical position and thats perfect idea - I like it. But there are two mistakes i dont like on this nice picture
1) snow cap seems to be little bit overeposured - I mean it looks like white flat place but its minor thing
2) you should made few steps closer to the water and use 100 percent of idea with breaking rulers - its really pitty that you dont have this mountain in water - you could have perfect picture.

You have nice colours and good work with software. Next time improve your composition and you will have perfec photo. Keep going. With regards LN
