[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Nestled in the Western Himalayas, the State of Himachal Pradesh offers unlimited opportunities to one and all to enjoy nature in its most pristine state. The very mention of the State instantly evokes images of the mighty Himalayas with lofty snow-capped peaks, meandering rivers, perennial springs, vast streaches of alpine measows and lush green forests known to harbour a variety of plants and animals.

This extraordinary view is from Chail's King's Palace facing the west, shot on my last trip to increadible India last month.

A small amount of PP was done in order to change the shadows/highlights.

Hello Panis,

It's a beautiful landscape, a magical one. I specially like the misty hills and the contrast between the red sky and the dark hills.

Best regards, Laurent.

Panos,
excellent picture.
I like very much the lightning in layers from the dark bottom over the dark and light blue in the middle to the light red and grey of the sky. The combination of colors are somehow surreal.

Très belle photo. Une atmosphère particulière avec ces nuages et ces belles couleurs.
J'aime beaucoup.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Panos...

What a surreal shot. I love the layered effect formed from each hill... Great shades of blue and the silhouetted forground and pink sky frame it in nicely.

Well done,
- Dan

Hi Panos,
You have not only been a witness to a heavenly scene but have managed to capture it for eternity. Thanks for sharing this magical moment from the Himalayas. Wonderful layers of colours and the clouds in the lower valleys has created a special mood. This will for sure go to my favourites.

whoa! totally breathtaking.. is this completely, completely original or have you done any post production work on it.. whichever way, this is a stunning piece of work!

I agree it's an extraordinary shot.
The tones, layers and lighting are all beautiful and make this almost a 3D image.
Thanks
Brian

smokes between the mountain layers is splendid
magnificent landscape
tfs

Hi Panos,
Wow this is stunning! Love the colours and the contrast between the hills and the sky. Well done! :-)
Cheers Tina

Hi,
heavenly atmosphere that you have captured here dear.Fantastic panorama.Lovely blue tones and the fogs look absolutely magical.
Kudos,
Dhurjati

mystic mist, cellulose clouds!
wonderfully captured mountain levels, a mesmerising take.

This is really superb Panos.
I love how the misty conditions have resulted in the hills appearing as a series of layers receding into the distance. I think the technical term for this is aerial perspective.
Whatever it's called, you've produced a wonderful image here.
Simply superb.
Ben

Breath-taking view. I love cool colors. Wonderful. TFS.

Wonderful landscape. Great shot, Panos!
Best regards
