Voted 10/10 | A well deserved trip. This would have been an excellent B&W photo, with the hikers silhouetted against the snow. Color contrast, however, adds to this image. Was it tricky to get the right exposure? | | Posted Nov 17, 2004 7:49 pm |

Hasn't voted | Thanks Brenta. I got lucky and the camera picked the right exposure. Having the foreground slope probably helped with the averaging. I had one shot at this since everyone was on the move. One second later the lead hiker was about out of sight and the dynamics of the scene had changed. | | Posted Nov 17, 2004 10:53 pm |
| livioz | Great shot, Nelson! | | 
Voted 10/10 | Surely without the human presence the photo would have lost a great part of its charm. | | Posted Nov 18, 2004 4:12 am |

Hasn't voted | Thanks livioz. After this photo won a contest I spent some time analyzing it, what made it work? I came up with several important elements, but having people heading into the scene is a big one. | | Posted Nov 18, 2004 9:14 am |
