Photographer's Note
The Brocken Spectre is a very rare and incredible phenomenon. It happens under really unique conditions, usually in the mountains. It appears when a low sun is behind a climber who is looking downwards into mist from a ridge or peak. It is belived that once a climber is startled by the sudden appearance of a human figure with a ring of light around its head, the climber will fall to his death, killed by his own shadow that he saw and the ring of light are his own glory ring.

Hallo from Germany!
You show us a truly interesting and seldom phenomenon - and photo as well. I've heard of it but I never have had the opportunity of seeing it. I've even been several times on top of Brocken, in Harz mountains, but ... ;-)
Congratulations to this photo, you can take pride in it! Thank you for showing this!
Greetings!

Very nic photo and interesting note.
It goes directly to my favourites.
Maybe a crop to a more panoramic view would inprove the photo slightly.

Hi Kinga,
Thank you for this Brocken spectre... which in addition is presented within a nice composition ! It is more common to get a brocken spectre in an airplane, when flying just above clouds, I aim to shoot it in mountain one day !

Spooky story, unique phenomenon, well written note plus a nice photo = great result. To see such think live, that must be really something.
I never heard of this phenomenon and never saw a picture of it, so I am thankful for broadening my knowledge horizons.
Best regards,

Witaj
Trzeba teraz w gorach uwazac ;)
Ladnie skadrowane niezwykle zjawisko
Mala uwaga: przegladajac Twoje zdjecia widze, ze po zmniejszeniu, wyostrzeniu pozostaje Ci w miejscach gdzie jest duzy kontrast czyli np na graniach obwoluta szpecaca troche foty. Nalezaloby ja zlikwidowac w jakims programie
pozdrawiam

Hello Kinga,
that's the thing I've never seen in my life! Incredible scene! It looks mysterious, unusual, out of this world, breathtaking, extraordinary (though of course there are quite "earthly", scientific explanations to this phenomenon).
Excellent composition and amazing colour gamma (which adds a lot to the air of mystery about this view).
best regards,
Elena

Czesc Kinga,
Ostatnio widzialem cos takiego w samolocie a w tym koleczku byl wlasnie "moj" samolot. Fantastyczny efekt a czlowiek przez chwile naprawde sie zastanawia, czy z nim wszystko w porzadku. Gdy zobaczylem pierwsze Twoje zdjecie z tym dziwnym zalamaniem swiatla, to nie za bardzo wiedzialem o co chodzi. Teraz jestem w temacie;) Gratulacje!
Pozdr.

Hi Kinga
Nice picture of an effect I have seen in a plane during a flight but I cannot get a good picture. Here, you have THE spectre, but also the landscape.
Congratulation, all the best
