Fantastic landscape shot and quite a change from those desertscapes!!! Snow, lush greens... beautiful colors, excellent composition... well captured!!


Giuseppe Guadagno   {K:33999} 11/28/2006
It's impressive, Joggie, to see Himalayan mountains white of snow, blue of cold, lost in the clouds side by side with low hills and planes green for an endless carpet of grass and woods even more green. It's an unusual landscape for me, powerful and gentle at the same time. I love mountains!
Take care.

Giuseppe

Hi Joggie! Hmmmm, how can one critique this?? I dare say it's above "reproach", to my untrained eye at least. To me it is just a superb photo all around. Beautiful sky/clouds, amazing mountains and delightful green foreground. I guess the only very minor thing is that there isn't a central focal point, but I don't think that really matters in such a photo as this. You always post such "picture perfect" shots that are a delight to see. Cheers, Gary

good details and layered comp. Clouds, mountains, snow, cliffs, fields, trees and lines this image has a bit of everything for the eye, it works for me.


Banie Prinsloo   {K:777} 1/15/2007
Well Done This Shot Is Perfect.
Ek Het Nie Geweet dit het so baie daar geval nie.
Geluk met BIP. Geseende nuwe jaar vir oom.

Steve Aronoff   {K:21457} 3/6/2007
This is a wonderful shot, Joggie. The composition is first rate, and the subject matter is breathtaking. I'm bothered a little bit by the murkiness of the colors in the bottom two thirds, and the bluish tint of the dark vertical cliff. My personal preference (and that's pretty much what it is) is to have the colors and contrast pop out more. I've attached a briefly worked on example of what I mean.
