These are distributaries of the beautiful Nubra River ( Sayak River ) which runs right through Nubra valley - North Ladakh ( India ). Alt - 12500ft.

The emerald green water meandering along the valley is simply breathtaking.

At certain areas the river cuts through sandy terrain which is quite rare.

Cheers.

Hi Sayeed. Lovely shot and great, subtle colours. The river must be quite powerful not to be absorbed into a sandy landscape - or there must be some geology beneath that 'supports' it.

I'm not so keen on the top 'third' of the shot and I believe it might look ever better (difficult) if you crop out from where the fields touch the right edge of the photo. Just a suggestion.

Lovely image. Paul.

Interesting wild and severe landscape. Impressive photo, no doubt.
Regards.

Beautiful landscape, like an abstract paint. The two blue rivers are so bright and eye catching.

Hi Sayeed,

again such a wonderful landscape. Good colours and crop, perfect...
Cheers Chris

Hi Sayeed,
so you are in rivers too today...:-)

It is breathtaking indeed...and it also has something of abstraction, if you cropped the upper part that would be even more visible, but I also like it very much like this, two photos in one:-) superb colors...
Well done!

Cheers
Michèle

Hi Sayeed,
You have been travelling at an amazing altitude - indeed a very captivating sight this emarls green water of the cold river.
I just love when nature provides you with such stunning views, all there for you to capture.
Thanks

This is an interesting scene Sayeed. I love the aqua color of the water. The setting as a whole is quite beautiful. I love all the colors here.

Hey sayeed, I thought you mentioned you were just a 'casual' photographer!!! But works like these suggest there's much more to you and your banking than you say. This work is special and an absolute delight to watch. Sure has all the class and oozes of talent. I want you go on a few more expeditions friend!!

Hi Sayeed,

Jolies lignes et couleurs, pour cette image bien composée.

very beautiful with spectacular blue colors in this white environment. I like it a lot.

Sayeed,
a very interesting landscape with an almost surreal or abstract looking. You might crop it even more and that effect would have been more evident. However you opted in giving some additional information of the place. I guess that the esmerald color of the water is due to glacier melt. Right?

Hi Sayeed,
What colors you have captured here! The emerald green, the shiny silver and the icy white all make a fine combination.
Really well done.
Regards,
Shaeri

The colour of the water is special and wonderful!
And the size of the valley is given by the trees there...they look so small .
Have a nice day

Hello Sayeed,
Breathtaking indeed. The colors are so beautiful, and the diagonals formed by the river are fascinating and attractive. A superb landscape. Regards, Danilo

well, Sayeed, let me confess - I would've loved to have taken this shot :)) lately I've been obsessed with patterns, geometrical lines and somewhat abstract photos, and your shot nicely illustrates the reason. love the contrast between the bright colour of the water and the pastel land, love the gentle shapes and curves, love the different textures. on top of that you have strong diagonal lines in the shot that I've always liked, I find they add a nice smooth motion to the scene.
great shot, friend :)
best,
Kristine

Hi, Sayeed -

A very interesting composition of natural patterns. I don't agree with some of the other critiquers who think it should have been cropped (I tried it out to see for myself), although you might have tried toning down some of the white area on the top; although not blown out, it's bright enough to be a bit of a distraction. Minor point, though.

Nice job!

Regards,
Dan

Hello Sayeed,

Thanks again for the suggestion for the title. As for this photo. While it has garnered alot of attention, I do not think this is your best work. The rivers are indeed beautiful (the colours are stunning) the top part of the frame is over-exposed, and it doesn't seem to be very sharp (is it zoomed in?). I'm just being extra-critical as I have loved some of your previous work in this area of India :)

Regards,
David

Hello Sayeed
Truly beautiful..love the emerald green water of the river flowing through the sand banks. Is that ice we see on the sand? I might have wanted the top to be cropped off. An almost surreal or abstract looking landscape which you have captured well. Good work!

Wow! This is beautiful the setting and the colours as a whole is quite beautiful. It is so fantastic to be back in front of my computer, and see everybody’s pictures. Thanks for this magnificent piece of art

This image is almost abstract and I love very much its graphical qualities. Well framed and good DOF. Nice one.

Hi Sayed.

Good work with the deep and the composition. It's a good and nice landscape as also it is a nice work.

Regards.

I like the overall impact of this shot, Sayeed. By cropping it closer than a typical landscape shot from this POV you've introduced an abstract feel to it, but at the same time you've retained just enough of the shorelines on either side for us to appreciate the landscape through which this river runs. Cheers . . . David

Hi Sayeed,

Very nice picture, love the colors and the composition,

TFS,

kind regards,
monica
