Photographer's Note
Lamayuru, Ladakh - altitude 3540 m
I saw such beautiful chortens for the first time while traveling around Ladakh,
we can see them on the Satellite of Google Maps.
Lamayuru is situated in Ladakh, about 127km west of Leh. The gompa (monastery) houses about 150 Buddhist monks.

Hello Hisashi,
Very nice composition using the chortens in foreground. But even more, it is the exposition of the photo and the good management of the contrast between the deep grey sky and the white of the stones which is driving the feeling of the photo.

Hi Hisashi,
I love the bright colors, and the intensity of the contrast between the clear valley enlightened by a sun ray, and the dark sky above the mountains. Under this light, the chortens look like delicious layer cakes! In a way, I regret that you have tightened the frame on them, because I wish I can see more of the construction and sacred inscriptions below. But I guess you had no better option!
Congratulations,
Regards

Hello Hisashi
The detail in the foreground, midground and background are all great and with natrual colours. The detail in the grey sky is also well captured.
Thanks

Hello Hisashi,
The nicely decorated chortens provide a fine foreground to this interesting view of the green valley and the rugged mountains. Your journey to Ladakh was certainly very rewarding. You have been showing so many fine pictures for a long time now.
Best regards,

An excellent view on the valley behind those chortens with dark looming clouds over the giants.
That rare patch of green is the only proof of the "relatively" low altitude.
A beautiful scene
All the best

Hello Hisashi,
unusual, very nice view!
I like this interesting composition and rich well-balanced colours. The mountains in the distance look fantastic; it's nice to see a stripe of greenery separating the mountains and the area with the houses.
best regards,

Sabidy Hisashi,
Thanks you so much for your nice words. I see in you have been to Laos and learn a few words. That is very nice, I hope you have a great time there. I falling behind a little I take sometimes to go through your gallery later on.
This one is beautiful, Very tibetan or Nepal like rather than Indian. I guess it's because it closer to Nepal. Great sharpness and clarity and beautiful composition. Thanks

hello Hisashi
I am amazed at the exposure you set to obtain this brightness of the FG chortens, as well as the clarity and visibility of the valley below and mountains beyond. Your capture shows very good depth and a fast shutter of 1/3000 can yield this good exposure.
A fine TE post.
tfs, bill

Hello Hisashi,
amazing view. The temple figures excellent in light and sharpness but also the deep background in superb textures. The small green and city between them connects and adds context, the diagonal sight on the valley adds depth.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Hisashi,
Great pic of Ladakh with the well decorated chortens on the foreground, the village and the green fertile valley and the rough mountains. The sky looks very dark for the end of June. I've been in Ladakh long time ago in July and almost always had a blue sky.
The composition is very good and the pic has an excellent sharpness.
Best regards, Paul

Hi, Hisashi.
Contrast and light management are simply striking, those chortens in foreground fascinating, and the definition absolute top quality. A great overall job, highly atmospheric and very different from what we usually see on TE.
Have a good day, my friend. Thanks for sharing!
See you soon,
Fulvio.

Amazing composition which make a good use of those chortens and of the fine and interesting landscape. You have a peculiar light and so peculiar colours. It looks like just high mountain atmosphere together with that of a desert, a unique flavour blend. Well done.
