Giant Annapurna 1 Photo

Photographer’s Note

Annapurna First Mountain is lowest 8000m peak in World and which is situated in Nepal . Annapurna 8091m was first climbed by a French expedition 1950. There are four summits called Annapurna ; the entire massif forms a barrier on the northern side of the Pokhara valley. The main summit is to the west of Annapurna sanctuary.
Annapurna was not climbed again until 1970, when British army expedition followed essentially the same route as the 1st one. At same time Cris Bonington led successful British expedition to the very steep and difficult south face. With only 109 ascents, Annapurna has had fewer successful climbs than any other 8000m peak.
This panorama was taken from Annapurna Base Camp(south face). which very famous trek in Nepal Himalaya.
Regarding the shot:
This is actually joining of 4 different shot. It is so close that one could use 10mm lense to get it in a single frame.
Any comment is welcome

Hello Manas,

This is a nice panorama, even if it is quite small : you should try to post a large version.
Great stitch job.
There are some spots in the sky (dust on the sensor ?) : you should erase them.
