Photographer's Note
One more photo from Kala Patthar. This is taken maybe 10 minutes after sunset, most people were already gone, but the light was just getting interesting. The sky turned into deep blue and purple and the snow peak got even brighter against the darkening sky. I decided to make Lhotse the main focus point of the composition. Everest is still in view on the back to the Left. I could even see a few stars began twinkling in the sky. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay much longer, since it was getting really cold and we had to go down while there still some light, although we had flash light with us. Part of the trail is really rocky and hard to walk even during the day.
More information about Kala Patthar, see the note on my two previous posts.

Hi Way,
Nice light ! The mixture of snow and rocky landscape, of day light and stars, make the beauty of your photo. You did well to wait 10 small minutes more !

I can see why you chose Lhotse to organize this shot around, Way- the light on it is just beautiful - soft, and producing some great shadows down the slope. The sky is beautiful as well, with a few stars visible above some great violet clouds. Beautifully composed and executed.

Once in a while a thumbnail image has the 'Wow' factor but the main image then disappoints. This absolutely is not such an image! The thumbnail has the 'Wow' alright, but the main image is absolutely fabulous!!
No doubt the clarity of the air helps in capturing such amazing detail and colour but it still needs the photographer to create an utterly stunning image.
You may get the impression that I'm blown away by this one, and you'd be right.

Hello!
I really wish I was there. The place looks awesome and you are for sure the right one to share its beauty. There's something really special about the light and the textures of the snow. By looking at the picture you kind of get the feeling that it's a very lonely place, and the sky somehow looks like it does its best to contribute to that feeling. Thanks!
Take care,
Fredrik

Salut Wayne and Happy New Year!
Extremely fine image showcasing a stunning esthetic and impeccable technical skills.
Your insightful note offers one of the most relevant piece of advice when it comes to shooting landscape; patience and dedication make all the difference between approximative results and spectacular work of art.
As you are mentioning, the snow covered mountains stand out gracefully against the blue sky, with subtle pink clouds that bring another level of magic. A natural beauty that you are presenting under ideal conditions, perfect timing and inspired
talent.
Cheers!

inutile negare che la tua è una di quelle foto che colpiscono a prima vista.
La bellezza dei colori e del soggetto ne fanno un qualcosa di unico che merita di essere guardato con attenzione.
La nitidezza è insuperabile al pari della composizione.

Hello Way,
The best thing I could say about this shot is it gives me the wish to plan a new trip in Nepal to do shots from Kala Patthar.
You really caught something in this landscape with a real rendering of mood through this so special and subtle lightning.
For the detail, on your note you wrote Everest is in the right. Is it not better the black Pyramid on the left?
Yves.

Hi Way,
breath taking view persented in a fantastic low light. The scarce light resulted a the very subtle color differences being nicely emphasized. Everything seems so well balanced here. You have captured it in the best possible moment, I bet a second later it was already too dark andsecond before it was too bright.
I like the smooth clouds above the sharp peaks.
Excellent work, a real master piece again,

This is another fantastic shot and true gift of nature, the most beautiful part of the day when most of those admirers have gone immediately after the sun sets below the horizon and thanks to your patience allowing you capture timeless moment & share with us when nature more than anything speaks to our hearts, it reminds me to stop & enjoy the simple pleasures that nature has to offer. The deep colours, the magnificence light control, the compostion and the eye catching contrast are fabulous and your lens gives us a glimpse of the beauty God has created that is found all around us caught by such a talented photographer. This is another remarkble shot Way, My compliments.

The comments speak for themselves. The picture speaks loudly, with a beauty which is unspeakable. I guess when you see such a scene with your eyes, all the travails & hardships are forgotten. The sky is beautiful in shades of pink on the blue but the focal point has to be Lhotse! Amazing once again!!
Patrick says it right...thanks for positing consistently extremely high quality pictures...no wonder you are one of those photographers I look up to for inspiration
Best Regards
Angshu

Hi Way,
The stark contrast between the snowy mountain and the dark sky make this photo stand out. It is sharp, with vivid colours. Mt Everest looks black and brooding in the background.
The sharp snowy mountain in the centre is Mt Nuptse, not Mt Lhotse. Lhotse is barely visible from this point. I haven't been there, but checking Google Earth or a map will prove this to you.
Regards,
Vince

Bonsoir Way
A magnificent capture of the eastern Himalayas and a view I have been fortunate enough to have seen, not from Everest base camp or here but from a light plane flying low towards Janakpur and again from the Indian border at Raniganj back to Kathmandu. Striking warm cold color contrasts between the blue hour sky and the reddish brown earthy tones as well as the last faint orange pink glow of the setting sun. Tfs!
