Hasn't voted | Nelson, this is a very powerful shot. I keep looking at it over and over again, and get totally psyched and desperate that I am still at my computer and not in the mountains. This is another fine example of your excellent photography skills! | | Posted Jun 7, 2005 8:20 pm |

Hasn't voted | Thanks very much Misha. Your comments are always especially appreciated. There was a slight bulge in the route and it allowed me to climb up maybe 100 feet slightly offroute so I could get more of Kangchenjunga in the background. Then I waited until the two Sherpas were in a nice position. The angle of the sun was an added bonus. Thanks again.
By the way, your two recent Sierra Wave shots are fantastic! | | Posted Jun 8, 2005 11:13 am |

Hasn't voted | Thanks for the comment Kenzo. I've been wanting to upload an improved scan of this image for a long time - larger size and better color balance - and I finally got around to it. Take care, Nelson | | Posted Jan 28, 2007 4:20 pm |
