Wow, this is excellent, light is fantastic of course, from this height the Earth looks very primordial, yet unspoilt by the Man...

Hello Kristine, what can i say that it hasn't been said before. First of all a very inspired title. Then, a great compo, taken from a perfect POV. It hardly could be better. The warm tones are in contrast with the cold clouds.
Regards and tfs!

Hi, Kristine -

Only a thousand photos? On a digital camera?? Amateur!

But this one puts you in a league above - a strenuous effort that absolutely paid off. A bit of luck involved, perhaps, but "luck" favors the prepared. Excellently framed and great lighting.

I'm surprised to be the first one to add this to my favorites.

Best,
Dan

Hello Kristine,

What a nice light in the sky and the clouds!
I also like the volcanoes' silhouettes and the shadow in the foreground.

Hey..Ive been waiting for this..wonder if you took a detour and headed for another island, indulging yourself. Ive done that, i know how you could get carried away with good light and high altitude, but did you ?

Yes, these hikes up the mountain can drain you but what we see at the top, its orgasmic or maybe remotely close. I mean you now when you now and feel when you feel, there are a millions making it to the mountains every year and only a handful "feel" it. This is your first and is an assurance that you are one of them who truly "feel" it.

Soft layers in this one, unlike the earlier productions, i know they are coming one at a time. I am sure this was a good photographic journey. But you know what Kristine, to hear you say 25%landscapes and the rests people and other stuff makes me happy and sad, happy more, sad less.

You know why.

Bonne soirée Isa

Hi Krstine,
WOW! This picture is out of the world literally. Is this what heaven looks like? Good things don’t come easy and only to those who willing to work for it. Definitely worth the effort. I’m sure your will do it again if you have to. How wonderful to have a cloudy day when you are above it. This is simply not to be asked off, it only happened to those few fortunate people. Congrats. I wish I were there.
Way

delpeoples (60342) 2010-01-26 22:19

Hi Kristine, there is an artists whose paintings remind me of this shot, the name escapes me at the moment. Those wisps of cloud and beautiful red hues across the mountains are wonderful, something out of a fairytale. The depth is excellent and I love the composition, with that small piece of land in the FG naturally framing it and leading the eye into the sweet spot. Great job, thanks for sharing it, and have a lovely day, Lisa

eversmile (11636) 2010-01-27 0:43

Hi Kristine

Oooh, what a light! I love how the tops of the mountains, slightly covered with clouds ribbons, becomes like onyx. The warm orange hues of the clouds balance well the dark shapes, and the view is gorgeous. Congratulations!
Regards
Marine

gunbud (34066) 2010-01-27 6:36

Hi Kristine,
You have left me speechless with this magnificent scene at the top of the world.
Magical how the strong lines of the peaks poke through the thick clouds.
The golden hues against the blue sky is strongly mystical.
Regards, Tom

Hi,

And this photo, marvelous view. It is like I remember it from Pacaya... The vview of other volcanos in the evening light of sunset. And then going down feeling warmth under feet and smelling sulphur... Magnificent shot.

Hello Kristine,
oh, yes! I've been there too...the stunning vastness, the colours,
the atmosphere...I can remember. So long ago. I was just a kid, but never forgot the moment and the place. Mi Guatemala querida!
You managed to capture the unique spirit of this place. Thanks!
René

Hi Kristine,

is this real? What a show of lights. The combination wonderful scenery / perfect moment could not result anything different than a great photography. My compliments!
Regards,
Carlos
PS: I was absent for a week and you filled your front page with such colorful photographies...you definitely keep walking :)

Angshu (56760) 2010-02-10 8:04

Hello Kristine
I can only see this picture and applaud! A scene which looks out of the world..three active volcanoes, the sea of clouds and the fine framing created by the reddish clouds. Also like the silhouette of the lava-rocks in the FG...excellent!
Best,
Angshu

Hi Kristine,

Before I saw the lower left corner, and read your note, I was sure this was an arial shot from a low flying DC-3 (they still use them in Central America). I am happy that you made the climb, saddled with a heavy camera, and feel the fatigue vicariously. I happily join the chorus of admirers, 55 and counting, of this gem!

Warm regards,

Bulent

Greet light, colors and POV.
The clods give a special atmosphere.
Congratulations, excellent work, is a pleasure to see a shot like this!

Kristine,

Blimey!! (that's a lower class version of) Gosh!!

We should probably reserve words like "spectacular" and "awesome" for views, for moments, like this. If we over use these words, we'll end have having to describe this sort of shot as "mega-awesome" - and then we'll all have to buy skateboards and hang out in the mall.

Cheers
Colin

What an amazing view of the volcano in midst of the bed of clouds. Great composition and beautiful, soft light.

Hallo Kristine!
Beautiful image with stunning orange tones and the upper clouds that look like they are running away from the mountain.

Wow, hello Kristine, what a wonderful morning or evening moment, certainly worth of the hassle of climbing with the horribly heavy backpack full of cameras and lenses. Perfect shot, interesting horizontal lines across the volcanoes, Well done. Kind regards, Michael

olive224 (2719) 2011-09-25 0:51

Great shot !
Nice contrast and colors !

Perhaps is the left top corner a little empty but it's a detail ;)

Cheers
