Hello Grzegorz
I can't understand why this photograph has so far attracted no attention. Maybe it's too low-key for most tastes, but I like that (low key is not the same as under-exposure of course!) And my experience of posting monochromes on this site is that generally they're not picture-postcard enough for the average TE punter. But it's got drama in bucketloads, and the symmetrical composition neatly emphasizes the near-perfect pyramidal shape. Excellent work.
Regards
Will

Ciekawie wyglada ten samotny szczyt na tle dramatycznego niebo. Swietna prezentacja, super contrast.

Hello, excellent choice as a black and white image because the dark dramatic sky is superb for this kind of mountain landscape image. Excellent tonal range and good composition with a lot of fg.
the side light provided enough light on the left to illuminate that side of the mountain and give us a sense of what the mood and atmosphere was like for you that day.
A very fine b/w image worthy of any gallery and certainly one of your best
TFS,
Karen

very impressive photo of an equally impressive mountain. it looks like a man-made pyramide (or the fang of a shark). i love the b&w treatment, the result looks very dramatic, almost epic.

Hi Grzegorz!
Great shot! I like it a lot in b&w, the landscape is really impressive and the conversion is perfect. I like the light and the clouds surrounding the mountain.

Dark and threatening presence, this looks so ominous. Terrific picture that would make a most impressive cover for a book or cd. Top piece of work, tfs.
