Description

Last shot of this hike. I walk back to the Grosse Scheidegg (1962 m) on a wide track. The mountain on the left is the notorious Eiger with the steep north side. These fields of crocuses cover large areas where the snow has just been molten. This wide track is a famous tourist route and I see people asking themselves why I am lying down with my stomach on the ground. With wide angle the landscape and the flowers, even in the front because of the deep DOF with f/22, can be combined in one shot. This requires doggy view. :) I have the impression that if I want to make an artistic shot I have not to be so very concerned with other people's opinions. Do you recognize this?

excellent shot! fantastic clear sky! the contrast of cold snow and the warm colors of the flowers gives the image a soul, that let me suspect: we are so tiny and why do we struggle in sorrows?

Your color balance appears perfect!! Oh yes, I recognize this and get "looks" from people all the time. The more comfortable I shoot, the more people ask me "who I work for" thinking I work for the local newspaper or some famous magazine. Wearing a "photographers vest" can attract much attention! (lol)
