Hoi Jan,

wat een gaaf landschap erg indrukwekkend, de man op de voorgrond geeft een beetje aan hoe groot de berg is.

ps mooi boek: 1984

Well done

Beautiful landscape captured immaculately. Was there a total absence of haze? It is so clear. Rider in bottom right gives good sense of perspective. Fine job
Warm regards

Fantastic! The man and the horse give me idea of the size of those big and very different mountains. Seems like 3 photos in one. Very, very interesting. Great sharpness and colors. TFS

Amazing landscape, incredible detail - and this from a scanned print?? The sharpness is every bit as good as digital, the tones are smooth, the colours are rich.
Great job!

Wow - you are lucky - you visited Nepal such a long time ago - no tourists, it was interesting and wonderful I think.
Our times are also changing the Asian countries, good for the people, but sometimes we from Europe would like to see the life as it was 20 years or more ago.
I also would like to visit Nepal, we have a nephew - he is adopted from Katmandu several years ago.
So thanks for you for this impressive shot, bye and greetings

Hi Jan,

Pretty good image here. I assume it is made with color film and scanned. Resolution, tonal range are excellent, you did a great job scanning the image. Composition is well balanced. It's bad that the man on the horse is not more visible because I sure he plays an important role in you composition. However, it is still a great shot, TFS.

Hello Jan,

What an impressive shot!
You have captured the textural details of these mountains very well.
The subdued colours give us an indication of the austerity of the location.
The little man on his horse not only makes us a good focal point but also addan understanding of the scale.

The person would have been perfectly placed with a few centimetres of ground underneath him so that he horse did not loose its legs and it would have been on that dynamic point.
Also there is pixelation in the sky which is very easy to remove. I have done a w/s for you which I hope pleases you.

Congratulations, my friend, on reaching 10,000 points. A real milestone!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

I have travelled to Nepal and to your homeland - the contrast between the two is stark. I can imagine the impact this place must have had on you all those years ago. The image is powerful in its vast scale and absolute clarity.

hello Jan

Fantastic landscape view and really a dream place to visit with such mountains. For 1984 quality, this is superb work! I only wish the horse is not cropped so close.

And yes, 1984 Orwell.

Good work.

Hi Jan,
Stunning landscape photo from Nepal, with beautiful grey tones of the soil. Clarity and sharpness is amazing, and it was very useful to include the riding man on the bottom for a scale. Congratulations, TFS!

This is great shot. I notice that there is a horseman at the bottom right of this picture. I think it would be nice if it was included. It would give a sense of scale to the size of this landscape. I would love to visit this lovely place one day. Thank you for sharing
