Too steep or too deep ..., a photo from Vorarlberg, West

Photographer's Note

Photo taken in St Anton area, ski resort of Stuben shortly before the lifts get closed and we were ready for the last run. I hope to be there soon to enjoy those views and fantastic skiing conditions ...

With around 12 meters of snow each winter � Stuben is the powder capital of the Arlberg and a gateway to some of best off-piste skiing in the Arlberg on slopes that remain untracked and in good condition for long after the last snowfall.

Hi Zuzana,

What an amazing capture. I wonder if this skier decided to go through with it.

The addition of the person provides a great sense of size.

Thank you for sharing

Bonjour Zuzana!

How awesome it is to have been there capturing this magnificent scenery! The moment from that guy seems surreal, and very ecstatic maybe. Very remarkable POV and very nice fine whites, the color is just great. Taking this photo is simply amazing isn't it? THanks for sharing!

All the best,
matthieu

Hello Zuzana,

An extraordinarily dramatic setting for a skier, most obviously no novice. Capturing the silhouette of the skier on such steep slopes. It must be both exciting and scary. Warm regards,

Bulent

Nazdar Zuzana,
Beautiful snow landscape from St Anton. very well composed with putting a skier in the good place. Portrayal of the blue round shadow is also amazing.

Best wishes, Hisashi

Bonjour Zuzana

Le monde est si grand par rapport � l'homme, et plein de dangers. Ton image illustre parfaitement cette phrase. Mais toi aussi, tu 彋ais l�! Alors, descendre par ce c矌�? Pas pour moi!

Glad to meet you here.

Scenery and beautiful light.
The presence of the skier is well thought out and allows the relative greatness of man.

Great shot ..

Wow, it looks like a big drop. Very well composed, you certainly did a great job to show us how steep and how high the skier is.
Just perfect!
