[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My cousin made a 6 months bicycle trek through India to Tibet. Unfortunately, I did not have the guts nor the endurance to do such thing (yet). I flew to Kathmandu and from there we went camping. The scenery was breathtaking and the camping ground is backbreaking. You can see Mt. Everest in the background.

you live the life im dreaming of Thien!
Great shot!

Nice shot, Thien. I like the little splash of yellow in all the blues, browns and whites. Looks like a magical place to be. Well done!

Very nice ! love the nice sharp yellow tent just in front of the more smooth mountains in the background. This makes me think of a title " modernity against eternity" since the tent is really a modern gear and Mt Everest is there forever.

As a hiking and trekking fanatic this is really a shot i can relate to! Wish i was there!
Well done.

Really nice; with this photo I can really imagine what this place might be like.

very, very nice shot Thien :-)
I love Your pictures!

That's a really great shot Thien...The bright yellow tent on the foreground is the strong point! Very well done!

Lovely shot and amazing scenery.

Yes it's really a great shot with the ooposition between colours, modernity, nature, empty and full space. Great.

Since you've posted your beautiful moon shot, this let me think you are on it now. Only your tent, the ruins and the snow prove it's on earth. Strange landscape, beautifully shown.

Nice colors throughout, looks nice and sharp. I would crop out some of that sky so that the mountains end up at the top of the photo. Good job here.

This picture's got so much going for it, perfect composition, pin sharp, strong shadows, a striking point of interest, good depth, you could go on and on...

Now that's color! I love how the blue sky and yellow tent have a balance point in the cool, dark shadow of the rock.

Do you have a shot with the tent and the rock lined up in a direct vertical composition?

Explosive colors, and you've managed to make a "hard" pic good. I see by that shadow that the sun is throwing very hard light. Together with the previous they make a very nice serie. If you have another one you should put it out... a serie should be at least three pics...

Smael
