Reminded of a Bierstadt painting

Voted 9/10

The mist and fog is reminiscent of some of the of the Hudson River School painters that migrated to California in the 19th century. Wonderful lighting and shadows; I'l bet you don't get these conditions very often.

	Hasn't voted	Well, the funny thing was that I didn't have any of those conditions. All I had was a partly cloudy day, a setting sun and a 3 MP camera! I am so glad the photo turned out so wonderful.

Before you take photo, prepare the lighting all the angles?
Great shot.

Is the lighter area of rock running down center right of the mountain where the Bonatti Pillar "used" to be?

This magnificent mountain has been badly wounded. However, I'm afraid it isn't the end of the story.

	Hasn't voted	Wow, this really is a sad shot. I had no idea this mountain was so scarred. I can't imagine what this mountain will look like in 20 years.

Wow! This picture takes my breath away. It looks like a painting or a peak in some fantasy movie like Lords of the Ring.

Thanks for posting.

	jmonahan	Re: Like a dream
	Hasn't voted	I thought that same thing when viewing the photo, but when you experience Le Dru and the area, it all makes perfect sense.
