The wealth (III), a photo from Jammu and Kashmir, North

Photographer's Note

Day X - 6:15 pm - Altitude ~ 4 500 m

At the arrival at Tso Moriri Lake, the weather was sad and the light grey. But a few minutes after, the blue sky and the sun appeared.

As if the place wanted to reward the few (10 ?) tourists who came there for the night and after hours and hours spent in a 4WD car. As if the place wanted share its gorgeous beauty...

And I was rich in chance, rich in images, rich in peace...

bonjour stephane,
la lumiere filtrée par le nuages sculpte le paysage d'une façon extraordinaire, l'alternance des zones d'ombres et de lumieres donne un magnifique paysagze.

Salut Stéphane
Ces paysages et cette lumière sont vraiment envoutants.
Il n'y a rien mais c'est beau et penser que cela se passe quasiment à la hauteur du Mont Blanc me laisse encore plus rêveur.
La version est vraiment superbe!!

fabulous the view of the light that fall on the above part of the Mt and the sky.I like this panoramic view of the Moriri Lake, with this splendid colours and light.The sublight in the foreground make the scene so mysterious.Well done
Stephane.

Regards,Danos

feather (51130) 2007-12-09 12:34

You were certainly rewarded with some great light. The wonderful clouds: the dappled light on the mountains: the refelections: they all combine to make an excellent image.

stego (24132) 2007-12-09 13:02

Hi Stephane,
WOW! Truly overwhelming! Magic... I guess the place is impressive under any kind of weather, but with those lights and shadows and that cloudy sky!!!...
The technical quality and POV are remarkable in every detail, except perhaps the excessive darkness on the lower right corner. I think it is part of the charm of the photo, but maybe just a bit of more detail wouldn't be bad.
Regards, José.

John_F_Kennedy (43797) 2007-12-10 4:55

Excellent perspective, wonderful colours and very good POV. Very beautiful scenery!
Best wishes,

Hello Stephane. Man must open only the Thumbnail, in order to see the beauty of the picture. The landscape and the special light are real impressing. As panorama the photo works perfectly. Best regards, Wolfgang.

josepmarin (59385) 2007-12-10 9:02

Bonjour Stéphane,
une grandiose panoramique ici, l'angle et la vue sont spectaculaires et nous offrent un paysage magnifique du lac et des montagnes, avec quelques très belles tissures et un jeu de lumière et d'ombres qui dessine son relief avec un fort graphisme.
Le large version a une grande qualité d'image et c'est très agréable à vue.
C'est un travail excellent.
Amicalement,
Josep

JCG (35153) 2007-12-10 10:30

Bonsoir Stéphane,

A nouveau un éclairage extraordinaire sur ces reliefs et on apprécie encore plus en version large. L'atmosphère est très particulière. Ce ciel est magnifique, j'aime beaucoup. Une photo très réussie, bravo Stéphane.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

A panoramic landscape of pure beauty. The sunlight shining on this image provides so much richness. A masterpiece of natural magnificence!

Salut Stephane,
Une autre belle vue de ces régions rculées et inhospitalières! J'aime bien la combinaison de textures douces des collines et des nuages. Belles couleurs fauves. Ca donne bien en grande version!

trekks (14348) 2007-12-12 0:58

very good light and shadow, blessed with the chance to capture it, i like the pov and cropped wide view here, well done. TFS

Enidlareg (2317) 2007-12-12 3:03

Surprenant! la façon dont le ciel s'est dégagé !
Le panorama me semble un excellent format ici pour nous faire partager la puissance du lieu : c'est puissant, c'est calme.La valse des nuages au dessus des montagnes dessinent encore une fois des ombres superbes accentuées par le relief des montagnes. J'aime beaucoup le contraste entre le premier plan sombre de ta photo et le haut des montagnes, et le ciel clair et lumineux
Très beau, magique
Géraldine

riclopes (35577) 2007-12-12 3:33

Wow, I had to hold my breath to absorbe all the beauty of this impressive Large Version. Hours and hours in a 4WD to get here? Thanks for the effort. It really worthed it! Gorgeous scenery, well enhanced by the shadows, light and sky. What a special moment, indeed.

markstaples (15670) 2007-12-12 9:45

Hello Stéphane
Beautiful ligthing in this shot which has led to nice rich colours. I like the narrow panoramic format. Nice work.
Best wishes
Mark

axiotea (21651) 2007-12-12 21:45

bonjour Stephane
Ça vaut vraiment le coup de voir cette photo en version large qui donne plus d'impact à ce beau paysage, où les ombres et lumières font bon ménage dans un ce paisible univers.
A+

Salut Stephane,
a very beautiful view of wonderful quality is this. I like the play of colours of blue, brown and white in that light and shadow. The texture of the lake lead us to the mountains and we are just caught in that landscape. According to your note, a very peaceful one.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Didi (61591) 2007-12-16 0:32

Salut Steph
Alors là j'applaudis !
La main s'est étendue et donne une intéressante alternance d'ombres et de lumières; la vue panoramique est splendide, le relief est très appréciable.
Chapeau !

bakes888 (18499) 2007-12-18 22:43

Hi Stephane. I’m glad you posted a large version for us all to enjoy, the textures and colours are much more prominent in the large shot. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Angshu (56760) 2007-12-19 1:32

Thus place enriches you in mind Stephane. Just seeing the picture one feels peace, how would one feel when confronted with the real thing? Wonderful play of light & shadow..the beauty truly apprecited in Large Version
Best Regards
Angshu

vincz (19113) 2007-12-20 3:05

Je n'avais pas vu ça. Sans doute j'etais en voyage, la je la vois ressortir via une critique de Angshu. C'est superbe, tres beau, une image de reve avec ces couleurs fantastiques. Mon eternelle balance entre la douceur de l'Asie du Sud-Est et les hauteurs himalayennes... Ahhh...

Runs (1072) 2007-12-27 11:16

Salut Stéphane,

Quelle lumière incroyable ! J'essaie d'imaginer ce que l'on peut ressentir lorsque l'on se trouve dans un tel endroit à assister à un tel spectacle...

Tout est réuni ici pour faire une belle image et cette trouée opportune dans les nuages a été le déclencheur de cette belle réussite. Bravo !

Amitiés, François

Edyta_B (8) 2008-01-04 13:15

Hello Stephane
This photo made a big impression on me - I said to myself: really beautiful :). So wonderful panorama of mountains. They are so colourful and smooth; it seems to me that their surfaces are made from silk ;). Beautiful lighting and reflections in the water.
Excellent image :).
Regards

Hello Stephane,
this view is simply breathtaking, especially the large version. The beautiful game Light vs Shadow allowed you to deliver a stunning result with a beautiful 3D effect. The mountains reflected on the waters and the amazing sky are just the classic icing on the cake. Great job indeed!
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
regards
