[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
This is Mount Machapuchare, in the Annapurna group, Nepal. Its name means "fish tail mountain" as from some places its summit reminds a fish tail.
It is a 6993 meters high sacred mountain, and according to local religion it cannot be climbed. Some expeditions reached the summit but stopped few meters below it.
I know that sherpas refuse to climb it.
This is taken along the route to Annapurna Base Camp, at an altitude of almost 4000 meters, at the sunrise. The summit is already under the sun, but it is dark below.
This trekking is a part of the so called Annapurna Sanctuary trek, one of the most popular treks in Nepal.
Macchapuchare is towering all along the trek and it can be admired from different points of view.

The picture was taken with a Pentax ME, and it is a scan from an Ektachrome color slide

Spectacular shot! The sun on the mountain gives this a very high contrast, making the peak stand out against the dark sky and the nearer mountains in shadow. I'm a big fan of mountains so I really like this one!

Stefano,
Excellent shot with a wonderful blue sky! The sky provides stark contrast to the mountain. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and DOF.
TFS,

Ciao Stefano.
Ti invidio prima ancora che per la bella foto per il fatto che sei stato lì e hai potuto contemplare dal vivo questa meraviglia.
Sarà un'impressione, ma riconosco il cielo "chimico" della pellicola (mi ricorda la mia foto "Casse deserte", anche quella derivata da originale chimico).
Megnifica anche l'ombra nera sulla destra.
Ciao.
Bobo.

Ciao Stefano,
la qualita´ del diapositivo si vede anche in questo scan. Il blu e´incredibile.
Ciao complimenti,Christian

Fantastica maestosa montagna. Bello l'effetto della luce sui ghiacciai dal grande dettaglio. La montagna in ombra in primo piano crea la giusta profondità.

Roberto

Ciao Stefano,
meraviglioso il contrasto cromatico tra la montagna baciata dai primi raggi di sole e il cielo blu intenso. Ottimo lavoro sulla scansione che ti ha permesso di riprodurre dettagli in quantita' e qualita'. Davvero un bellissimo scatto, complimenti.
Ciao,

Igor

Hi stefano,
The crisp clarity and sharpness are what set this image apart for many others. Stunning beauty with fine colors and perfect composition. TFS. Gerald

Hi Stefano,
How deep and sacred! captured expertly the sacred mountain shining in the morning light. Postprocessing that carefully removes noise is excellent. I like deep blue of the sky a lot.
Have a nice day, Hisashi

Hi, Stefano. A very impressive mountain with a good contrast between the snowy and rocky parts. It stands out very well against the nice blue sky. I also like the diagonal line formed by the shady triangle on the right. A good opposition between light and shade.
Have a nice evening,
Philippe

Stefano,
great sensibility to get a sacred mountain in such a clear and pristine manner. The colors are strong, well saturated. The composition with the two triangles almost gives an geometric and graphical aspect to this purely landscape photography.

Splendida vista di questa imponente montagna che si staglia magnificamente su un meraviglioso cielo azzurro, bravo Stefano, ciao Silvio
