Love the Mountains and wow these are very impressive ,thanks for sharing. #3 is my favorite well framed.

arpaagent · 08-01-2011, 06:35 AM

I'm jealous! Wish I was there too... Anyways, I think the photos are great overall, except for #4. I don't dig the composition, and sort of lose the tree in it because there isn't much contrast with the background (and the intersection with the horizon is not very pleasant). But I really do like the rest of them. 1, 3, and 6 are my favorites!

Thanks for sharing.

as a Slovak I have to love this part of country

the first two pics and the last one I like best

**Kammerer** · 08-01-2011, 06:56 AM

My ruthless opinion is that these are gorgeous photos. I agree that the tree on #4 does not stand out against the background that much, but I love the photo anyway. You'd probably fall from the cliff trying to get a different angle. Thanks for sharing!

Masterly captured breathless beauty.

As a Pole I must say that I love Slovakia, especially Slovakian mountains and food

I already visited Pieniny, Mala Fatra and Velka Fatra and all of them are just wonderful for somebody who loves mountains. My next stop next year is Nizke Tatry

That's really bad that we have so rainy summer this year - every weekend I am planning hike in West Tatras (Rohace!) but it always rains...

Maybe next weekend I am lucky

that is so true and sad my polish brother...I even haven`t got time to really try my new K5 in field...
hopefully the autumn will revard us with some warm and dry weather
in Roháče - take care, if you are skilled mountaineer then you will enjoy it, if not, they can be pretty tricky and dangerous

These are terrible shots Tomasz

! Is this the kind of comment you were looking for

??
But seriously, this is an absolutely outstanding series! Seems like another place I have to add to my "must go" list.
Number 3 reminds me of a photograph taken decades ago by Eberhard Grames (in my opinion one of the best photographers ever - he greatly contributed to the success of the German GEO magazine).
Thanks for sharing!

I am not sure if I can myself "experienced" but I have been in similar mountains before (in Polish part of High Tatras), so it seems that I am well prepared. And I made some investigation too - this mountain seems to be just great!

Places like this are always dangerous, but that's why people go to mountains... not only for nice pictures but for some adrenaline too!

agreed

there were also some new chains intstalled at the most dangerous parts so you should be fine

Outstanding work, Tomasz. I'm particularly fond of the light you captured in #4 and the incredible depth of #6. All are wonderful, however.
