Photographer's Note
Shepherds take their cattle several kms uphill to the green pastures of Rohtang Pass (Himachal Pradesh) between June and September.
Shot on top of Rohtang Pass at 3980 mts in the Himachal Himalayas. Please click the above image to see the higher resolution version.
Shot on Fuji 100 negative film. I've cropped the top and bottom so this is not a panoramic photo made by stiching several images. Sharpness and cotrast adjusted and noise reduced and yes.... powerposts removed through clone tool.

Wonderful scenery, with some daily life interest thrown into the shot for added effect. The colours & clarity of the scan are very good.
The LP version is OK, but it loses some sharpness and there are some compression issues which aren't noticeable on the smaller version.

Hi Biplav,
it's only when you see this sort of image with people going about their everyday business and trying to make a living, that you realise how difficult life must be for them. Living in a consumable society, where everything we need, food/water/transport, is on our doorstep, we forget the difficulties others face. A fine capture my friend and I wish you a very happy New Year.
Regards
Stephen

Hi Biplav,
This really is a wonderful post. I am with you on the panoramic cropping, certainly looks better this way. Keep posting more photos!

Dear Biplav,
You have narrated the eternal story of Himalayan bugials that is the grazing grounds for the cattle.
