Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre
by Nori Jemil
Flying in Chilean airspace, Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy appear out of the clouds and snow over the border in Argentine Patagonia. The rich blue is down to the polarizing filter, and some editing of contrast and levels.

    Brrr. You captured the cold, clear air perfectly. The colors are wonderful and the peaks so sharp they cut a hole in the sky. Wow!

    Absolutely amazing aerial shot. really like the inky blue sky, whether due to polarising filter or photoshop. I am impressed by the clarity ( you were shooting through plexiglass I presume. A trophy for a life time!
