About	If ever there were a photogenic peak then this is it. The Pic du Midi d'Ossau looms over the western Pyrenees and its face constantly changes with the movement of sun and clouds. I climbed up to the barrage (dam) on the Lac de Bious-Artigues one evening having spied out this possible view on an earlier walk. The sunlight had already left our campsite but the last red glow remained on the peak. I like the juxtaposition of the curved, regular shape of the barrage against the jagged wildness of the giant peak. I used a 2 stop soft ND grad to balance the exposure and an 81B warm-up filter to counter the blue tone that Velvia takes on in the last minutes of daylight.

Wonderful picture, you've got the best from this view. The last warm ray of the sun give a warm pink colour to the rocks really enjoyable.

Congrats. Fabio

Thanks Maureen. Not sure that photography would pay as well as the day job! Might provide a nice retirement income in twenty years time!

Hi Barry - your photography goes from strength to strength. It's surely time to give up your day job! Wonderful images.

Thanks Michael, I seem to be one of the few people who actually quite like to blue haze - it indicates distance and gives a realistic feel of mountain light to me. But everyone else seems to think it ought to go. I must be weird!

Michael Kanemoto {K:22115} 8/3/2005

Overall - extremely well done - like the dam recession into space. Let me know if you want me to remove the blue haze in the background.

It'll buff right out...
