Very nice, I just love this wonderful place. I think the simplicity of the shot disguises some clever processing. Pure unadulterated nature.

A good shot of a wonderful view. Part of me is thinking that there is a bit of foreground interest missing, that the shot would be better with something in the front, but it works anyway. I like the way the river snakes through the frame. Good job
cheers, david

Wow, this one really stopped me in my tracks. A very striking image especially for western eyes, but the sort of thing you are confronted with in India on an almost daily basis. I think you are a little brave to take this shot and I applaud that, many times I wish I had been braver and been able to take the difficult photo. Full marks from me.

A nice shot of this beautiful panarama. I do think your shot lacks a little contrast and sharpness, but composition is good and the view wonderful. I have left a workshop for you.
I guess you made the trek from Rumptse to Tso Morriri? I also made this trek the year before, and have posted many shots from it.
I would love to go back!!

Hi Evren,
I think you got a fabulous composition here, I love the way the smoke drifts across the frame, and the way all the other subjects appear to be staring in different directions. The placement of the chillum is perfect.
I can almost hear the coughing.
cheers, david

Nice one, the strong primary colours really help split this shot down the middle, with the verticle door frame acting as the dividing line. Captured at just the right moment.
I remember Dhulikhel as such a nice place
cheers, David

Hi Patrick
I do like photos like these, that show just how daily life is, no frills just a good dose of reality - so much more real than a kid smiling for the camera.
The fact that its from 1983 makes it even more interesting. I hope it is pretty much the same now..I expect those same buses are still in service haha.
Composition is good as well, even if its a shame about the woman on the right being chopped in half.
cheers, David

Hi Sumon
A nice capture of the mighty mountain.
As you mentioned there is a lot of noise, but you can easily deal with this using a noise reduction tool such as neatimage (which is free).
I tried it on your shot and have left a workshop for you. hope you like it
cheers, David

Another winner...I like the way all the subjects are lost in their own world, concentrating on their labours, and are apparently uninterested in you and your shot. I often try for this kind of effect but always seem to get someone looking straight at me.
Composition is spot on as well. All the different shades of blue make it hang together. Very nice
cheers, David

I really like this one, the huge open landscape in combination with the grey weather, the lines of the receeding mountains. And splash of colour provided by the mans jacket is very necessary. Good job
cheers, David
