Description
Annapurna SouthNepal
This image is taken as deep as you can wander into the Annapurna Mountains without having to technically climb. It is located at the so called Annapurna Sanctuary which takes 5-7 days of hiking and plenty of climbing and descents. In the Sanctuary, you stand dwarfed by mountains at least 7000m surrounding you. Simply a humbling experience. There is a small village here simply called Annapurna Base Camp though nowadays, there aren't actually too many climbers. The ice wall is the Annapurna South Glacier. At the time, we had dramatic weather with mists blowing up the valley and across the mountain tops.

The landscape is amazing, but I think what really makes this picture is the hue contrast between the reddish-browns and the bluish-grays, as well as the incredibly crisp focus even in the close foreground and the distant background. It's a gorgeous capture.

Such a harsh yet gorgeously dramatic landscape. I love the misty look and the coloured stripes on the rock (ice?) surface - it gives the place a mysterious, almost alien sort of atmosphere. Plus, it's amazing how the rocks and ice stand out against the soft backdrop of the clouds. Absolutely stunning shot - very well done!

An absolutely beautiful image! The comp is delicious and the color is even tastier icing on top! A side of texture variance pairs well with the comp and color. Wonderful drama with the sky. A real sense of being in a remote location. All the ingredients to a great shot. Well done! Thank you for sharing.
