Another Morning Another Mountain

Absolutely gorgeous! Especially #2 for me. I adore the framing, the sky, the layers of the mountains and the colours.

Nice set.

The second shot is awesome. Nicely composed and executed.

You had some excellent views that morning too! Photos look great! I am not experienced with landscape, but I am wondering if I would like to see the snow that is sloping toward the left from the RH corner underline the photo a little farther before it gets cut off. I think it puts a pleasing contrast between the blues of the valley and the edge of the frame. I am guessing that what I am thinking of could be done simply by cropping a little lower at the bottom, but if you didn't crop at all, it wouldn't be an option anyway. It looks pretty good as is.

I like how you included some closer FG subjects, that is good composition.

Wonderful compositions and colors

Simply breathtaking! Beautifully done. Reminds me of the Canadian Rockies.

Especially like the second - you did a great job with the somewhat strange light and brought out the gauze and lines of the hills and valleys below very nicely. A big trek for you to get up there? Great location.

Nick, you are right about the framing but the snow is a rare commodity this year. I actually cut the frame where the snow ends and below that line you could only see some dried grass.

Mark, this is a mountain near my hometown Sofia – Bulgaria and the height is 2290m. Not a very challenging trek, except for the strong winds. The lower mountains that form the background of the photo are due southwest, towards Greece.
The first photo in this post represents the same mountain ridge you see in #3 from the previous one, taken from a different position with wide angle lens. If you enlarge enough you’ll be able to see the ski track in the left third of the photo just above the center of the group of rocks.

Beautiful colours, Jordan, and thanks for posting these in a large size. They are stunning in lytebox.
