I took several photos that day as my wife and I had traveled to Mount Robson from our home in the interior of British Columbia.

The photo does not capture the majesty of this mountain. The first sight of the mountain actually brought my wife to tears. The photo was taken from the visitor center in the park.

We were told that the top of the mountain is usually covered in clouds, so we were fortunate to have a clear day this day. The elevation of this mountain is 3954 meters. It is ranked as the 119 tallest mountain in the world on the Prominence scale.

Formerly it's a rock castle, and is located to the south of Dresden, near the Czech Republic border.

I saw pictures of my friends photographers and I'd understood - that's what I have to photograph. I went there in autumn, 2017. On the first day, however, I was too late, the best places were already occupied by other photographers and the sun did not come through the strong fog. The next day I was prepared - I spent the night in the car and was there in time to get a place on the rock, the only one that offers this magnificent view.

The sun came up and it was perfect.

The Lilienstein was visible at the background and the Bastei was clearly in front of me. The sleepless night was definitely worth it. - Sven Lachmann -Image by sujuAbout the image: Gear: Sony Ilca-77m2 camera, DT 55-300mm F4.

0mm, exposure 1/200s, ISO 100The picture was made in 2017 on Christmas holidays in a nice place in Swiss - Engelberg. It is an alpine town in central Switzerland. Here I used to spend my holidays for several times as really like this place.

This image was made during a winter hike on the "Brunni", above Engelberg. The thing that impressed me most was bikers as I'd never met a "snow biker" before and I was amazed how easy they were moving in such difficult conditions. And as my camera is always ready to "shot" in my hands, I've made this significant to me snapshot.

This fascinating bridge, built in the middle of rocks, is a place that every photographer can not pass by. The ideal time for taking photos is shortly after sunrise, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Elbe Valley. After the photo session you can visit the Felsenburg Neurathen and its surroundings to take other original landscape photos.

You must be sure that Elbsteingebirge, with its photogenic rock, guarantees great photos for all photo enthusiasts. - Julius Silver -Image by kordi_vahleImage by jplenioAbout the image: Gear: Sony Ilce-7camera, DT 0mm F0 SAM lensSettings: Focal Length 70.0 mm, exposure 1/640 s, ISO 100And as a bonus - one more image we love a lot.

We have some contributors who use Photoshop for their works to make new original images. Here is one of them.Image by TheDigitalArtistI love to take a great photograph and manipulate it into something new, especially if it's a nature photograph. When I saw the original photograph of the climber on the mountain I just knew it war ripe for a bit of 'nature manipulation' work using Photoshop.

There were a number of things that I wanted to achieve with this piece of work.Firstly the original sky was blue with no clouds and a scorching white hot sun. I wanted something much warmer in colour and so I replaced that blue sky with a warm late afternoon, sun starting to set sky with a level of clouds to dampen the overall heat form the sun.

This added interest and colour to a large portion of the photograph.Secondly the original image had a metal ring bolted into the mountain that was used for climbing. I didn't want that in my image so removed it to take the mountain back in time before humans had messed around with it.

Finally I needed to change the overall colouring of the mountain and the climber. The sky, with the scorching sun was so bright that it washed out the beautiful colours of the mountain and the climber too was over exposed. So I applied some colour toning to the overall mountain area to bring out a more vibrant feel to the image.

A small amount of recolouring to the climber also made them stand out more.This completed the manipulation work and the new image was born! - Pete Linforth -All images and videos on Pixabay are released free of copyrights under Creative Commons CC0.

What is the best SOAP web service, and why?

Web Service Development in TIBCO is one of the basic thing that almost every TIBCO developer has to do. Integrating applications through Web Service Interfaces is a common practice in almost every organization in order to comply with SOA standards.Developing SOAP Web Service in TIBCO is not a tough job.

TIBCO Designer tools make it easy to expose or consume web services.Web Services Process:1. HTTP Connection in your TIBCO2. XML Schema for Input and Output of the Web Service3. Abstract WSDL4. BW Process using SOAP Palette and Expose as a Web Service5.

SOAP Web Service using SOAP UIHTTP Connection in your TIBCO:The web service that we are going to develop will use HTTP as a transport. So the first thing that we need to do is to create a new HTTP Connection by using HTTP Palette. Drag HTTP Connection resource in your project and configure it by specifying host and port.

XML Schema for Input and Output of the Web Service:Before we create an abstract WSDL, we need to have a Schema in which all input and output parameters will be specified. In our case, the schema is simple having EmployeeID as an input while PayStatus and PayDate as output.Abstract WSDL:Abstract WSDL contains all details about a web service including Its operations, WSDL messages and their parameters.

Double click on the WSDL and then add WSDL Messages for Request, Response and Fault.BW Process using SOAP Palette and Expose as a Web Service:Create a new process in your project. In the proess, drag SOAPEventSource so that It becomes your process starter activity.

In the configuration of SOAP Event Source activity, choose the Abstract WSDL, Its operation and the HTTP transport.WSDL Source tab, you will find Concrete WSDL which has all the details of the service including its transport. Save this concrete WSDL as it will be used by the client to consume the web service.

SOAP Web Service using SOAP UI:You can consume your web service with any SOAP client. I am going to use SOAP UI tool for testing my web service.What is the best SOAP web service, and why?.
