Nepalese porter, a photo from Sagarmatha, East

Photographer's Note

Great and tough guys !!

Without porters, no trek, no expedition, nothing ....

(view shot on the way to the Baruntse base camp in the hinku valley, between Tang Nag and Khare camps, below the Mera La).

This is a very good composition, Laurent. It really shows what trekking conditions are like in this part of Nepal, and I like the capture of the snow-capped peaks above the band of clouds. Perhaps a fill flash might have helped bring out a bit of detail on the porter. Cheers . . . David

Very good composition. The carrier is situated very nice against the snowy peak. Great details. Indeed, a flash might have given a better view of the carrier. Although, being shaded at some part gives some nice touch as well. Good job.

Agree with above comments. great positioning of the porter against the tough terrain behind him. I also would like to see more of his face.

Fantastic place. I love the colours in the photo, it looks so fresh and clean there.

Impressive the rudeness of the terrain. Very sharpen and with an outstandig color pallete. The contrast between the mountain and the blue sky is great. Perhaps, with a few more light in the bottom of the picture, and we could observe some more details from the porter.

I really like the way you were able to get the porter in the scene without losing the beautiful view of the mountains. You also had the perfect amount of cloud around to make things interesting. Superb!
