On the trek to Gokyo. Unbelievably this guy is carrying this (ca. 70kgs of..) door etc. for 5 days up even past my destination (they know the weight of what they are carrying as they are paid by the kilo). Incredible. Many of these porters are farmers trying to make a few extra dollars during 'Everest Climbing Season' before the rains come and they return to their farms. Many fall ill, and some die, to Acute Mountain SIckness. They aren't Sherpas, who have a genetic mutation allowing them to exist without fear of AMS, at very high altitudes, they are just normal farmers from low altitudes.
Clarity (and HDR look) still looks a little high even though I've lowered it. What do you think ? Saturation is spot on BTW - the sky really is that blue when you get that high !
Since you mention it, the area that draws my eye is the sort of violet halo around the door/sky area showing obvious work from the Adjustment Brush (or equiv.). The porter/door area is the only portion that looks a little less than authentic to the scene. Still -- the image is very strong!

Joshua -- More great shots of my favorite cowgirl! Maybe we can talk her into a hoedown in this little Western village? Ha-ha!

Nice shot, it really is a spectacular location! The red/orange tones and the porter do give it a HDR like look not sure what you could do about it though.
It's stunning up there at the 'roof of the world' - it feels beyond 'real life'. I'm going to work on this image again as I really like it and want to get it just right without too much of a HDR look to it so all feedback is really important. Thanks for taking the time ! Cheers, Kevin

Thanks Jim !
Appreciate the feedback and I'm going to go back and rework that area in particular. Cheers ! Kevin
