Beyond the horizon, a photo from Northern Areas, East

Photographer's Note

I discovered what that every child who dream must know... it doesn't exist a horizon too far away that cannot be exceeded or be crossed...

A late afternoon stroll at Fairy Meadows at the feet of majestic Nanaga Parbat. It was nice to play with children and the reflections in the water...

Hi Luca
It's nice to see the reflection of the mountain. The shad of the child is cute.
It's nice to see again your pictures.

Hi Lucas,

your image is just like a dream! It is so strange that we only see the reflexion of the mountain and not the mountain himzelf. JUst Perfect work!

What really captures my attention on this image is the contrast between the clarity of the mountain on the reflexion and the clarity of the child outside, yet his reflexion is dark. Well captured,
Enrique

Hello, Luca--
Great work here... this one really caught my eye. i like your original use of the reflection of the mountain, making it subordinate to the child without rendering it insignificant. It's almost as if we're catching a glimpse of the dreams of this boy, for while we see nothing but normal fields in the upper part of the frame, we see the snowy heights of Nanga Parbat in the reflection.
Thanks!

Very good picture. I just would increase the light on the boy, leaving the rest untouched. A little trick of postproduction...
The POV is perfect.

Ciao Luca,
sto dando un'occhiata al volo alle ultime foto TE (sto facendo le valigie perchè domenica parto per stabilirmi in Niger) e sono capitato su questo capolavoro che metto subito tra le mie foto favorite. Il ragazzino ha un'espressione molto intensa (come nella maggior parte delle tue foto) ed il riflesso delle montagne è uno dei più belli che abbia mai visto in una foto.
Bravissimo!
Alberto

Brilliant composed, Luca. So well seen with the snow mountain in the water. Lovely reflections.

Must have been a great experience to go to Pakistan.

Hello Luca
He dreams of other horizons... One simply must go to the other side of the mirror. All the children of the world look the same. A beautiful poetic image, another way of making us discover this landscape and of also making us dream.
Regards.
Pierre.

Unbelievable shot! It's a beautiful image and so well presented, too. I love the way the mountains are reflected in the water and the way the child looks like he is indeed dreaming. Great work!

Excellent reflections thanks to the point of the view, Luca. We have no need to obtain a wider angle, because the frame is completed. The reflection contains the rest view. Very clever effect!
Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes,
Athanasios.
