Solang Valley Photo

Photographer’s Note

Escape the trappings of civilization by getting lost deep in the heart of the Himalayas. Nestled high up in the clouds, on the banks of the River Beas, far from the concrete jungle, a little heaven called Solang awaits you. At 8500 ft above sea level, 13 kms ahead of Manali, Solang Valley allows you to experience nature in all her glory where the mountains, dense forests and snowcapped peaks are your next door neighbours and the towering cliffs challenge you to heights where only eagles dare.

I like the composition but the colours seem to be artificial. The diagonal composition is effective but the sepia effects donot excel.
Take care,
Rajeev

Hello Dhurjati. There is one aspect of this photo that really appeals to me. And that is exposure control. I am not sure what post processing you had to do but the result here is very good. I love how the clouds above hug to the mountain and how the lighting below is so realistic to a cloudy day beside the mountains. Good work and thanks for sharing!

The horse is hte hero here...you have done an excellent work bringing out the serenity of the place inside your cam.The small hut, the white horse play a perfect cameo...
