Fantastic composition, and beautiful colours. The mountain ranges in the background look incredible.
I think a slight CW rotation is needed to level the skyline, and I find it a little over sharpened (as several of your other shots). This is largely personal taste I guess but it does spoil the result a little, which is really a shame. They just look slightly harsh and unreal. I still love them though.
cheers, David

Very, very impressive!!! Beautiful panorama of hundreds of Himalayan peaks. Congratulations for this climbing - 6000 m is 6000 m! That's not 'little summit'. That's higher than Elbrus and Mont Blanc!

All the best,
Vlado
