Photographers Note
The picture was taken early in the morning from Yashpirt (3302m) during the Batrura Glacier Trek. In Wakhi language yash means "horse", pirt - " a slponig meadow". It was the first day of clear sky after week of bad weather.
Abobe the Ice Flow you can find first on the left - Pasu Sar (7478m) then Muchu Chnish (7453m) and Batura Wall Peaks. The flowing down masses of ice feeds the Batura Glacier (56km long) which is the largest glacier in this region and the eight largest glacier in Karakoram.

Good comosition. Raher dar colors cause probably by the circular polarizer. The foreground is too drak I think, accentuated by the balack frame.

Hello,
une photo merveilleusement fouillée sur le plan technique. Balance des blancs parfaite, couleurs contrastées, rôle du polarisant indéniable.
Une exposition précise et une mise au point qui l'est tout autant.
Bien ŕ toi.

Hello,
a splendid view of an immense mountain. The snow and ice shining in the low light of the sun with a hint of orange and yellow are as great as the extremely dark backround sky. The foreground, still in the darkness is not detrimental, I think it gives a good "frame" to the whole scene.
Very beautiful.
Best regards Kristof

Cześć Wojtku!
Te góry powalają mnie na kolana. Mogę się nimi nieustannie zachwycać, przyciągają jak magnes, choć potrafią być tak bardzo niebezpieczne!
Swietny jest ten cień z fakturą zadziornej grani!
Pozdrawiam serdecznie!
