A couple more from Puerto Montt

[Saorsa]

Just to put the previous image in perspective, Puerto Montt is actually at sea level. I arrived on the MS Zaandam from Holland America.

A tour took us up into the lakes area and stopped at a coffee shop/bar on the mountain. We had approximately one hour at the stop. There were options to take a ski lift up or walk. I chose to walk up the side of the mountain since you can't stop a ski lift for a shot and if you don't take it it's gone.

The first image here is shortly before I climbed another 50 meters or so and if you look closely can see the dark outcrops and people from the original image near the center.



The second image is in the opposite direction looking down into the fertile flatlands of the mountain hollows.



I also decided I liked another shot from that of the first post and a crop which included a bit of sky to indicate the slope of the mountain.



If I don't stop playing with this stuff I'll never get my holiday happy snaps slideshow completed and the art and social director will be MOST unhappy.

They are very dark, makes it hard to see any detail.

I am with what Matt said ' about to dark ', this applied to the first two, the third image looks fine to me.......well, just my two cents worth........

Agree about the dark with the first two, the third there is something I like but I think there may be a little too much black at the bottom and it isn't adding to the image. I do love the scale of the people to the size of the mountain though.

I really like #3. Perhaps cut 30mm off the bottom. That is only my opinion.

I like the third image.

a crop which included a bit of sky to indicate the slope of the mountain.

It might help you to know that I didn't realize the earlier versions were a mountain. Including the sky in this crop clearly displays that it is.
