Coming out of the mountain forest, a photo from Uttarakhand, Nord

Photographer's Note

After passing a forest, where we were deprived from the sun and views for two hours, we finally had the chance of enjoying the amazing scenery of the snowcapped higher peaks of the Himalayas again. Running the risk of becoming a bit repetitive with this series, I just wanted to show this image where the change of vegetation in the landscape can be seen.
Another view in WS taken 50 meters after this pov.

great POV and excellent light and quality.
thanks, ciao

I like the series of layers from rough grassland, to forest, to rugged snow capped mountains that we see as we look through the depth of the image.
I think it would have been better if you had asked your friend to turn around and look out at the view behind her. Having someone looking into the frame can be a very effective way to draw the eye of the viewer into a scene. The eye naturally follows the direction in which the figure in the image is looking.
Other than that, a good shot.

Cheers,
Ben

sleon (9402) 2007-01-09 13:40

Hi Ricardo
This photo shows nice lighting and contrasts and wonderful visibility to the distant peaks. The person adds a good focal point and gives us the impression that it is a tiring climb uphill. A wonderful view.
Regards, Susanna

Hi Ricardo, A well composed image with the hiker to the left & a fabulous backdrop of those superb mountains, a wonderful POV with great light & i like the way the tree line angles across the shot drawing the eye, kind regards Wilson.

Olá Ricardo,
with the grass followed by the trees and in the background the mountains accompanied by great DOF it is a very impressing shot. Wonderful colors and the light was your friend.
Cheers, Ulf

Bonsoir Ricardo
j'aime beaucoup ce paysage et la profondeur de la photo. Beaucoup de choses à voir et des couleurs très belles. Bravo pour ce post.
Je profite de cette photo pour te souhaiter une belle année 2007
amicalement
Xavier

paura (25802) 2007-01-09 14:19

Incrível esse seu passeio, Ricardo. As excelentes fotografias que vc tirou, como essa, mostra que esse deve ser um daqueles lugares que não se deve deixar de visitar antes de morrer.

Um abraço

Paulo

oh man, this is a sort of a paradise, i think...
...forget about the colours, forget about the views but look at the efford you had to make to climb th emountains, to be so close to the sky...
man, i envy you this trip, you can be sure about that!
best wishes, j.

Hola Ricardo.

Buena profundidad y composición. La foto es un ejemplo de la aventura en la que te metiste.
Seguro que valió la pena.

Un saludo.

alvaraalto (42234) 2007-01-09 17:20

Hi Ricardo,
Not an easy trail. I suppose walking and photographing here is very fatiguing. There is so much to take pictures of and than you has to stop again.
Groet Rob

Tue (82146) 2007-01-09 17:44

Hej Ricardo,
In this picture I like most, apart from another wonderful view over the Himalayas, the colour contrast between the mountain peaks in the background and the forests and fields in the foreground. The shapes of the mountains are also beautiful. Great work, thanks for sharing!
Hilsen,
Lars

jinju (14265) 2007-01-09 22:08

Hey Ricardo,

this is a beautiful photo. A wonderful view is great in its own right, but as you know I really like to include people in photos and enjoy seeing them in others. I think it makes a photo easier for me to read, to be more interested and also to be able to relate more to the shot.

Angshu (56760) 2007-01-09 22:39

Ola Ricardo
This closer up shot is the best of this series (trekking) so far...the layers of mountains in different colours...light then dark & then again grading into the snow capped paeks looks great. I think it's your perspective which helps this feeling of depth..and of course the fellow treker in the frame (I guess I know who it is) not only adds vitality to the scene but also provides scale.
Friendly Regards
Angshu

axiotea (21651) 2007-01-10 1:11

Salut Ricardo,
A well chosen POV where we can see the mountains against the blue sky, forest and finally the grass. I like the way you caught the posture of the woman whith the fist up (to hold the bag) which gives the impression she is ready to fight with someone :) my own imagination...
Cheers,
Marilyn

khafes (303) 2007-01-10 2:59

Viva Ricardo,
Mais uma boa foto de uma série de boas fotos.
nesta foto gosto bastante da composição e do contraste entre as arvores verdes e a erva seca com as montanhas em fundo.
Cumprimentos,
Paulo Monteiro

flory (4848) 2007-01-10 3:26

hola Ricardo,
I really like this series !nice changed of vegetation,you have right,it seems like five planes different..natural colours and good clarity..very well captured!
have a nice day,
flory

sabyasachi1212 (19779) 2007-01-10 3:31

Hi Ricardo,
Another good sharp picture from the Kuari Pass trek. This IMO is the best of the series with the visible end of the treeline giving way to the bugiyals or the pastures. The snow range forms an impressive backdrop.
Best Wishes
Sabyasachi

bakes888 (18499) 2007-01-10 4:03

Hi Ricardo. Great view of this stunning scenery. Great composition with strong diagonals and excellent depth. Good work and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

ramblemarchramb (4) 2007-01-10 4:55

common man
i was looking at your points
you've got so many
what is the secret?
the photo's good since it shows an enclosed space.. ..i like this thing about it.. ..not too enclosed but enclosed still.
that's the nice thing about being in the hills, you get to be in such enclosed spaces.

not giving you points.. ..since you've already got more than you deserve

PixelTerror (0) 2007-01-10 5:33

Ola Ricardo,
From what i see here this could be in the Alps as well, where are all the chortens and prayer flags ??? A nice mountain view with the necessary depth and nice peaks in the background, and please to meet Mme Riclopes ;-)
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Gerrit (59968) 2007-01-10 5:51

Hi Ricardo,
majestic landscape and a beautiful crisp and sharp picture in stunning colours.

nice trekking shot again Ricardo,
very good pov and good mountain photo job, great atmosphere very fine job.
gr. jaap

markstaples (15670) 2007-01-10 6:40

The quality is top - so nice and sharp. And who can blame the subject for leaning to one side like that at this height?! There are many layers of interest in this shot - the DOF is superb.
Best wishes
Mark

siolaw (38294) 2007-01-10 8:03

Ola Ricardo,
Nice compo of this beautiful place, with great colors, POV and sharpness, beautiful blue tones on the BG mountains, greens on the forest and golden forefround..
Super
Laurent

feather (51130) 2007-01-10 10:48

I like how all the diagonals each frame the view behind and so-on; there's 3 separate layers of fg mountains and innumerable layers in the bg. You have included your wife(?) in just the right place in the frame. I like the WS too but agree with this as your main choice.
Kath

john_c (24666) 2007-01-10 11:01

Hi Ricardo,
Well composed with good lighting and shadow effects. The varying layers of terrain here are fascinating, and as your note mentions, the changes in vegetation are so discernible. I particularly like the completely different light and appearance of the more distant mountains. Well captured....later.
John

sergio1 (12152) 2007-01-10 17:22

Hola Ricardo

Muy buen mini serie de paisajes y excursion. Me gusta mucho como las anteriores la profundidad de campo y los colores además del detalle de los excursionista que aportan mucha vida.

Saludos
Sergio

sarju (5324) 2007-01-10 19:30

Ola Ricardo
The best thing that I like aobut this photo is the distinct tree line on one of the mountains in the background.
I guess you were somewhere between 3100 and 3400 meters asl (above sea level) at this point.
I also like the way the bright colours of trekker's clothes are standing out.
Very good take indeed ... your photos seem to take me right where the action was. ... thanks for sharing them man ... cheers from canada .... Sarju

papagolf21 (152599) 2007-01-11 3:58

Bonsoir, mon ami Ricardo,
Les montagnes ne vivent que de l'amour des hommes. Là où les habitations, puis les arbres, puis l'herbe s'épuisent, naît le royaume stérile, sauvage, minéral ; cependant, dans sa pauvreté extrême, dans sa nudité totale, il dispense une richesse qui n'a pas de prix : le bonheur que l'on découvre dans les yeux de ceux qui le fréquentent - Gaston Rébuffat
Difficile de trouver de meilleurs mots en regardant cette prise de vue.
Amitiés.
Philippe

chrisnet (23062) 2007-01-11 4:10

Hello Ricardo,
Very impressive moutains, good framing with the girl in the foreground at left, I like this beautiful panorama, good lighting and colors too. A good shot.
Regards
Christian

atus (15878) 2007-01-11 9:45

Hello Ricardo,
very well captured shot of a great landscape. Also the perspective is great and the human presence adds vitality to the pic. Good light control and nice colours ,too. Tfs and best wishes!
Attila

Manamo (3710) 2007-01-11 10:28

Hello Ricardo,
this is such a beautiful landscape!!! What a hike it must have been! What height were you at that moment? I like the different angles you get with the valley on each side, it is a super point of view!
The human element is genious, really. The landscape looks so raw that the human presence means a lot...
Just for the effort you put in this hike make this series such a loveable one!
Au revoir,
Marc

Vato_Law (12732) 2007-01-11 16:48

Olá Ricardo,
Imagino que estavas em grande forma quando fizeste esta viagem à India pois estas subiditas devem deixar qualquer com no minimo um palmo de lingua fora da boca, mas ao menos a vista vale a pena a avaliar pela serie de fotos que tens vindo a mostrar. Mais uma foto espetacular com uma vista deslumbrante onde realmente não há muito a dizer mas sim muito a apreciar.
Fica bem
Paulo

keribar (43841) 2007-01-12 7:24

Heeey !
A bit too risky and tiring for a 7o years old guy, I can only admire these trekkings, and think that I must choose easier treks for the moment being. Amazing scenery of the snow capped Himalayas, but you still didn't tell me how risky was the trip when it comes to terrorism in the Cachemire area.
A present for you is on it's way. Best -
A good caress to the cats. Izzet

Henryk_Bilor (20803) 2007-01-14 3:56

Hi Ricardo
I like such a scenes. Lovely mountains and a woman. Very nice composition and colours.

fayeulle (27827) 2007-01-15 4:29

Hi Ricardo
It's a long time since I visted your gallery. As a landscape photographier I like this one showing us the deep valley. I like the way you framed the picture with the woman in effort.
Have a nice day
JP

Scharan (14144) 2007-01-15 19:29

Olá Ricardo
Belíssima paisagem muito bem capturada.Cores maravilhosas, composição ótima, meus parabéns, linda foto.
Grande abraço meu amigo,
Vera.

xuaxo (6854) 2007-01-19 7:17

Olá Ricardo,
Esta no outro dia escapou-me. Isto se calhar é um indício da repetitividade que falas na nota, pois nas miniaturas as fotos podem confundir-se (olhando de repente). Mas acho que valeu a pena publicares mais esta (e o WS). Também aqui gosto muito dessa erva dourada e as montanhas em fundo, certamente. Quanto à floresta, muito bem, mas é pena não se ver melhor.
Aqui nota-se de novo que a caminhante estava mais preocupada com o precipício do com a magnífica paisagem. Neste caso aqui parece que a situação ainda é mais perigosa do que na outra com a mão na encosta, pois aqui o trilho parece praticamente inexistente, pelo menos para trás.
F
