Gimme shelter

View on the Mt Cook Valley from an old hut window. Although it might be more impressive too see the high rugged peaks that are hiding in the clouds, this rainy day to my opinion justifies better a widow view picture :rolleyes: . I also like colors and textures of the vegetation. Is it a picture of any interest to you?

Canon EOS 40D + Sigma EX 14mm f13 1/50 ISO400 hand-held

I like the composition, especially the details of the grasses in the foreground, separated somehow from the background. The hut seems to be a comfortable place on this day. It remembers me of so many times watching the rain in an alpine region, warming myself up inside a hut.

Very nice, only nit I have is the glare(smear?) in the lower right corner of the upper left frame. It's probably true to the scene but it interferes with my veiw of the wonderful vegetation. Nicely done.

This is lovely! I agree with Nancy, I would have cloned that bit out, because i end up trying to figure out what it is, and not paying attention to the beauty of the whole composition. Ie distracting. But its a great scene, framed nicely. You did well to get the funky details in the window frame and the glowering light in the background as well.

I like your picture window view and creative approach here Andrius. It also seems to me like each section of glass contains it own little picture to make up the overall view.

Works for me: I like it very much. I like the different textures: the wood in the frame at the bottom, the grass shaped by the wind, and rock and stones in the mountains. Thanks for sharing :wavey:

I love the amount of detain showing in the window frame. And the brightness of the grass is great in the midst of the somewhat dreary (but dramatic) landscape. Very cool.
