To Raise The Top Photo

Photographer’s Note

"To Raise The Top"
---------------------------------

It chooses the mountain that you wish to raise.

You do not let yourself take by the commentaries of the others, that say " that one is more pretty", or "that one is more easy". You are going to spend much energy and enthusiasm in reaching your objective, and therefore you are the unique person in charge and must be safe than you are doing.

¿He knows how to arrive in front of her?

Often, we see the mountain, beautiful, interesting, full of challenges by far. But when we tried to approach to us, ¿what happens? That it is surrounded by highways, that enter you and your goal forests interpose, that what it seems clear in the map are difficult in the real life.

For this reason, it tries all the ways, all the footpaths, until finally a day you are against the top that you try to reach.

Hola John,

você consegue estabelecer um tratamento de imagem e uma forma de composição que revela ser um trabalho seu, mesmo que não houvesse sua assinatura na foto. Gosto do enquadramento e do crop, com os galhos da árvore preenchendo bem o espaço do céu e o verde abundante que remete a uma área fértil. Bela imagem!
Saludos,
Carlos

I like both your picture and the commentary. You've framed your subject quite well and captured the allure of the Andes. So many mountains do seem so accessible and one is only limited by the time one has to climb. Very nice post!

Sincerely,
Kate

Hola John,

The green hill and its ridges seems just drew by ruler. What a straight ridges they have. I liked your skillful way adding part of tree and its branches just in perfect position with green hill. Very creative one under amazingly cloud sky and enviable lights. Congratulations.

Saludos cordiales,

Hola John,
nice land scape view with combination of this green hill side.I like the existence of the tree in the right, as the branches of it, that cover almost the upper part of the scene.Well done.

Regards,Danos

Hello John,
A splendid composition! The balance between the sky, the mountain and framing with the tree is very pleasing. Excellent depth and light. The imminent large clouds are beautiful. I like your note.
Kind regards,
Betty

Hi John!
The perfect shape of that hill was an excellent picture for a very attractive picture! Green dominates the image, but you ably managed all the photo techniques to create a very beautiful image! I'd like to point out how you framed it with the trunk and branches of that tree!
I really enjoy it!
TFS - congratulations!
Have a great sunday!

Hello John,
imho, this is a very interesting, very original composition where the top of the "triangle-shaped" mountain is so well balanced by the tree branches covering most of the sky. On the other hand, the dark branches on the left is another good balance for the dark tree trunk on the right. I might even call it "a photo which has double balance".
I seldom see such photos!
Very best wishes from sunny Moscow,
Elena
