Congrats tigmo, that's an amazing shot!
I was a little disappointed though by the dominant blue color, so I authorized myself to play a little with your pic!
what do you think of this version?
such a fantastic photo. I think that this completely conveys where I want to be right NOW. If only I could snowboard down those slopes, hit those jumps.....and fall into a crashing death.
You have done two things for me here. One, the picture is excellent. Very well done. Secondly, I did not realize the extent of the climate variances in Iran. I need to work on my world geography more. Thank you for posting.
Oh, my! I think Heavenly Father knew you needed just the right weather, and here it is!
I have seen professionally taken shots from explorers which were not as good as this - what wonderful scenery! I am a bit surprised that you got such a shot on an ixus - I must revise my opinions!
Very lovely shot - you must have laboured hard to get to this point, but it was well worth it.
I would love to see others from the days photos, if there is any chance!
Incredibly beautiful. Congratulations on the ribbon.
From Wikipedia Dizin for those, like me, that don't have a real strong picture in their head of the region.
Ohmy! I am breahtless. This so beautiful. Did you hike up there to get this shot? I'm in awe! Congratulations on a most deserving blue ribbon for this amazing photography.
I am one of the 19 that voted 10 on this. Simply incredible shot and from having spent time in the mountains indeed there is complete silence!
Congratulations on this well deserved 1. Place!
Absolutely stunning. It doesn't even look real. The mountains look so smooth and yet so jagged. The lighting is perfect. Amazing, amazing shot. And I really get the silent feel too. Great work, I am impressed!
Ah, just a magnificent photo. Honestly, a place like this makes me think of wind sounds. Still, with such a beautiful composition, I'll assume it's a really calm day ;)
4 - Awesome scene - don't get why you didn't tweak it to let it pack more punch and refine the crop too.. The lighting/shadows over the mountains is nice. edit to add: I may have been a fraction harsh with my vote on this for this Challenge - nevertheless, Congratulations.
Front page, if not a winner. I sure hope you didn't climb up here just for the challenge :-) Incredible depth and detail, deliciously soft tones and crisp textures. Love the sun beams. My fave so far.
But for those dark edges in the front and especially black right corner (which IMHO, all should have been cropped out) it would be excellent. With them it's just good.
Gorgeous scene. Very wonderful light. I think this is a good representation of silence. There is nothing more silent than the high country wilderness. (When the wind is not blowing.) My fav in this challenge. Hope it ribbons! 10
