Photographer’s Note

Leh, Leh-Ladakh - altitude 3500 m

View of Leh from Namgyal Tsemo Gompa which stands atop the crag behind Leh Palace. Looking at the floating formation clouds, breathing deeply the rarefied air.

Hisashi,
This is a fantastic landscape shot with a great sky! Your composition is nice using the rocks in the foreground to create a diagonal through the shot. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail.
TFS,

Excellent shot Hishashi, with a good sense of depth - you made great use of this fantastic viewpoint over the valley. Looks like the Shanti Stupa over there in the distance.
Well saturated and contrasty without going over the top, and your framing works well too. I'd have preferred it if you'd have used a slightly longer focal length to avoid that distortion and softness in the corners, especially in the bottom left corner. Zooming in a bit would have sorted that.
Other than that, an excellent shot - good work.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Hisashi,
A nice elevated position to deliver a comprehensive view of the valley, you have very good highlights on the clouds and seeing how intense the sky blue it's easy to tell this was shot high in the mountains.
Have a nice day JY

Good work!

Beautifully done landscape.

Hi again Hisashi!
I like the effect that gives clouds and the houses in diagonal... it seems that it must leave the image the frame!

albertz (2310) 2008-06-23 8:19

I like the very low polarized sky here, the cloud formation is so great! examining your exposure, the wind must be strong up there. Great shot.

Great light, superb depth and magic place.
That's a good picture, for sure!
