Photographer’s Note

This picture attempts to show the rugged and difficult conditions of Tso Pangong - a lake on the border between Tibet and Ladakh - which is clustered by few villages and nomad communities all living above 4200 meters.

The sole bush in the vast arid and tough area well serves the focal point for the concept.

Used Polarizer.
Post Processing: Contrast, Unsharp mask, Framing, Resize.

Hola,
a very very nice picture. I like how you have work with colours, without trying to enhance sky saturation colours. This is really stetique, and more credible. I like the composition with the little "tree" (I don't know how to say in English) alone in the middle of nowhere, and with all this mounatins in the background. May be I would crop with a square composition. I try a Workshop and then you can tell me what you think. But in any way your picture is really beuaty and gives an incredible mountain atmosphere.

Best regards,

Javier (another mountain lover)

I am very actracted by this type of dry and harsh landscapes.
This is very minimal, with the little bush which is essential for the picture, to balance the background. The only green vegetable in Kilometers of stones. Very beautiful composition.
Sorry I do not have smiles available anymore.
