The 'Silberhorn'

[Steve Kaluski]

A snap of the Silberhorn whist out hiking in the Swiss mountains near Wengen, part of the Jungfrau mountain region. Might look at converting to B/W or a Quadtone.

Hi Steve, such a lovely scene with great details in the snow and rock. I also quite like the whispy edges of the cloud running diagonally through the scene. Good idea to try a B&W conversion too...I think it would look stunning as such!

Cheers Andrew, not sure if this is too 'mean & moody?'.

Hi Steve, this is what I had hoped it would turn out like...with the blue sky going very dark in the conversion. All around after seeing this version I think I prefer the B&W to the colour.

Hi Steve the RP has got that missing WOW factor .....way better and much more impact than the color version.
Stunningly processed dear Sir !!!!! :cheers::cheers:

Love it

Very dramatic sky! It must have been an experience to be there, Steve. I also prefer the B&W repost.

Thanks guys, might look at doing some more and converting, interesting to see the response and when NIK is NOT used for the conversion. :S3:

Hi Steve.

Love this..! I am a sucker for mountain shots and for me the cream in this shot is the curve leading up to the peak. Walking that final ridge leading to the peak is the best part of climbing mountains... The sky is wonderful too. Of the two posted, I prefer the colour although the B&W would appeal more (I think..) if there was more cyno and less siepia in the tones..

regards

I can take either version they are both nice.
