fantastic shot! the size of the men compared to the mountains behind creates such a mood! it lets one feel how hard the work is! and this is very important! when a photograph is just something that I see on my screen it has failed! when it takes me into that time and place it has captured it has succeeded! when it lets the viewer feel what the person feels there it has succeeded! I like the framing very much, using the rule of the thirds would cause in this capture a disaster:))
Björn Billing  I'm glad you appreciate the photo, and feels that it transports you to the place. And I agree about the rule of thirds in this case - rules are good but one must know when to break them =) Cheers!

Bjorn - it seems you have traveled some very difficult terrain. This shot is wonderful for mind expansion..as the scale is breathtaking. Congratulations. Phyllis

love the way the human presence conveys the scale of the mountain
Björn Billing  Often one needs the humans to comprehend how huge these mountains in the Karakoram/Himalaya are. Glad you liked it Linda =)
