Hello Stefano,

You were lucky to have remaining water on the salar, there is a mirror effect I can not experiment when I was there.
I like the idea of the composition using the vertical lines of the cactus. Nice view also on the Tunupa. It was a very long day of walk to reach its summit.

Yves.

Hola Stefano,
Color Velvia y un lugar majestuosamente bello. Muy buena utilización de las plantas del primer plano para romper la monotonía del azul.
Espléndida imagen.
Auguri,
Mirari

Hello Stefano,
great shot of the salar area at almost 4000m.
I travelled to Bolivia almost 20 years ago, but I didn't visit this area. My fault!
The different blue shades are really worth seeing. The reflections are stunning and I like those plants in the foreground. Perfectly seen and done.
Best wishes,
Helmut

Great, simple composition. Juxtaposing the cactuses against that shiny immensity was a very clever idea.

Hi Stefano
Superb, the inclusion of the cacti in the foreground is a genial idea, a complement to the mountain and its reflexion in the lake.Everything seems so calm.

Have a good WE

Nice framing with these cacti (???), great reflection of the mountain. Looks quite Japanese despite the location.

Cheers

Magnifique... ce décors parfaitement net, aux couleurs reposantes et douces, toutes en harmonie. La touche de verticalité apportée par les cactus donne du rythme à la photo de par le fait que les lignes sont perpendiclaires aux autres et de plus la couleur sombre apporte le contraste nécessaire.
Toutes mes félicitations pour cette fantastique prise de vue.
Luc.

What an exotically beautiful place, Stefano! It's like something from a dream, where land and sky become one. The fuzzy cactus plants contrast nicely with the clean lines of the landscape beyond. Regards, Ken.

hi stefano
interesting POV with those cacti; and, of course, perfect reflection leaving the volcano hanging between the sky and the water.
unfortunately, we could not get to Uyuni this time. the chilean rental company would not let my car be driven into bolivia for over the last few years they had had several incidents when rented cars got stolen on the bolivian side... oh well, another time.
your note though makes an important point... when is the end of the rain season there? when does it start? i suspect we would not want to visit in the middle of the dry season. :))

regards,
kristaps

hi Stefano,
I see what we missed, looks wonderful, but we have already decided that Bolivia is going to be one of our next destinations, so I haven't lost all hope of seeing this with my own eyes.
love the pure blue colour, and how leaving a lot of room for the sky nicely illustrates your note about the big open space of the salar. compositionally, I'm not sure I like the cacti in the foreground, their silhouettes are a bit too abstrast. but that's a matter of personal preference :) great shot.

best,
Kristine

This is one incredible photo!!! I returned from Salar de Uyuni last month - I didn't have the luck with water and reflections like you did - but nevertheless I was taking pictures like crazy. Unfortunately, not with such a wonderful result as yours... Anyway, it is such a special place and your photo conveys its greatness and beauty.
