I wish I was there to shoot it !

I like your composition. If that strip of glare was not there, I think it would have been a masterpiece for me !

It is near masterpiece for me though!!

Congratulations for this very pleasing picture !

You did a pretty good job on yourself. I like the lighting,showing the eyes and the shades . Did you know what the lighting would be, before shooting ?

I wish the black shadow was cropped or removed from the lower right hand corner. That is a distraction.

Overall, very good. Congrats !

Very pleasing picture. I love the color. May be you should add a little description of where Ladakh is etc.

Congrats

I love it. Seeing the reflection only, I am free to imagine the beautiful landscape that was present there even though in reality it may have been quite different.

I wish I was there !

Lovely. Thanks for sharing.

I think the differential in the polarization of the sky is secondary to the use of an extreme wide angle !

Also, the tip of the reflection is missing . Is the horizon a little tilted? I wish there were some clouds in the sky !

But overall, I like the tranquility of the scene. I have been there and have shot this "witness" too!

Keep your good work up. Good to see that someone is shooting the place in India that I come from !

I like the absolute stillness of the water and the reflection.Wonder how would it look with the right side having an empty water space only -stretching long !!

Do you have any version closer what I want?

Anyway, I love the picture.

Please feel free to critique. This image is unaltered.

Thanks

I totally agree with Lisa. I would crop the sky and also a little on the right to make the composition stronger.

Just my 2 cents.

Very well done

I love the tranquility of the scene-it also gives me a feeling of loneliness ! Composition, to me, is very good.

A pleasant picture.

Well done

I have visited your folder and was impressed by your work wih IR, which I have never used and seen very few pictures and hence the confusion. I thought you did this on PS from a regular shot.

Drop me a line at Dholai@hotmail.com if you please.

Thank you

I like the picture, it shows the winter very nicely. Wish the road was a little more exposed to have some details.

How was it in color ?

you are not going to get another photo of the week right now. Okay ? Others have to have chances, too !!

Seriously, very nice picture ! How many more do you have in stock ?

Regards

I love this picture. A wide spectrum of color recorded faithfully with good balance. At least for me.

The trees could have had a little more exposure and the sky could have been cropped a little more but it is just my opinion.

Nice capture. Congrats

P.S. Please do not tell me that it was a Photoshopograph created on the monitor with the PS!

I know I could have done better especially with the background. But

I did not want to miss the opportunity. It was shot with a 1.4X II

Canon TC on the 400 mm DO lens, IIRC, at an aperture around 5.6 and

a shutter speed of 30.

Your comments are welcome.

Thanks

I really like this picture ! the expression of frustration and depression seems to be clear to me. I sympathise with him for his lost freedom.

Nice capture

Nothing personal against you Kevin, but that is exactly what I hate digital photography ! Manipulation!! I would never know, looking at a picture, whether this was what the photographer saw and wanted us to see or this was all done on the computer! I will never know whether a landscape really existed or it was peaces and bits gathered together to "make" a picture ! Anybody can do it and you dont even need a camera to do that !!

Should we not be Photographers, not "Photoshopographers" ??

As it is it is a nice work of PS. But, I refuse to rate it as a photo created by a person behind the camera.

Just my personal opinion !
