About Summits (**MOUNTAIN PORTRAITS - TAG IMAGES ! **)

Welcome to the Summits group!

This group is for collecting, viewing, and catologuing photos of summits from all over the world. Photos should be of a particular summit or small group of summits (ex. Annapurna I and III).

Your photo should be a portrait of the mountain. Other things may be included in the shot to add interest but should not be the main focus of the photo.

All shots should be "tag"able, That is, it should not be of an entire range or an expanse of the peaks. Panorama shots of ranges will be removed, no matter how lovely.

Such images can't be summit tagged and would be better suited for the many other available mountain scenery groups.

It also shouldn't include peaks in the background with something else as the main focus. We're all about summit portraits here.

Please do not be offended if your photo is omitted for not fitting the above criteria.

Great examples of summit pictures taken from the pool:



When your picture gets removed from the pool

... there was no summit in your photo at all or

... the main motif and focus was something different then a summit or

... the picture showed the view from atop a summit and not the summit itself or

... you could not give the name of the summit and

... please don't take it personally.
