Monastery in Leh Photo

Photographer’s Note

The view to the monastery in Leh. It was so awsome to be there, but hiking the fairly small mountain was an exhaust in a height of more than 3500 m !

See the same picture taken in a different angle here

I loved Indian Himalaya. Haven't personally been to Leh (yet!) but I am definitely hoping to go.
As for the photo, the obvious stuff - great location, motive, lovely colors and just the right elements in your frame.

Very original compo and POV, superb vivid colors. The colorful flags, the stone monastery on top of the mountain, the blue sky make a very interesting and unusual scene.

Hello Daniel,
Gorgeous composition with the overhanging prayer flags curving their way from the monastery. Not much to comment on really. Great job! Regards,

Very good composition, the definition is great and also the colours... just a tourit question, at what time of the year is it possible to go there?

Hello Daniel! Great photo! The impression is the monastery is tied to the flags and not the other way round. Both angles are good, but the monastery seems to be a bit better placed in the WS photo, being here too close to the edge to my taste.
Excellent colours and sharpness, and a great job!
Regards,
Inés

Hi Daniel,
Awesome place! I love the trail of colour flags leading us to the monastary, they stand out so well against the super blue sky. Great point of view too.
Regards
Wanda

Classical view on this monastery with the prayer flags. I think I swa a few variations here on TE. Yours is especially well composed with lots of depth and beautiful colours.

Superb composition with a strong perspective effect. The colors are stunning and I love the way they lead us to the monastery. Really good and much more effective than the horizontal version...strangely, the other seems to be more successful...
