Hi Chris!
I like the three different levels of light mood here,first the foreground with it´s cold colors in the shadow,than the warm-toned Observatory hill,and in the background the foggy view on the Kanchenjunga.
Well done!

This loks almost unreal. The mountains emerging from the mist in the background look more like a book illustration. Very nice quality to this.

Difficult conditions to take a photo indeed and the overall quality is not exactly top notch - but overall the unique scenery including the snow-capped mountain in the back is very well conveyed and I'm definitely glad you did press the shutter that morning. Interesting view, Chris.

Great perspective! The early morning light is wonderful, and the distant mountains behind are what really make this photo special. Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Chris, This observatory hill and mountain Kanchenjunga are beautifully shown in this well composed picture. The morning sunlight shining straightly from the right hand side made the near hill and far mountain look beautiful. A well taken picture with a very nice clarity. You have done a great job in your PP. The quality of this photo shows great.

hello Chris, this place is just wonderful, I wish I could be there one day, but if I can't, thank you for this view of the top of the world. I think it shall be hard to take this picture, and hard to work on it too. Thanks.

Nice colors. Postcard quality. A tighter crop at the right can make this photo even better.

Hi Chris
Love the shadow of the mountain at the background, eventhough there are three levels of perspective here. Well composed.
Well done.

HI Chris,
Its a very nice point of view. I like the mountains on the back. I think you could crop off the building on the righta and play a bit with PP cause the light is a bit harsh.

Don't know if you should be frustrated Chris, the smoke has created an atmosphere and is really nice when the light falls throught it. I like what you did with the mountains, they look dreamish now, as you wrote, like a painting.

Yes, it looks a bitlike a painting, and I think that you have made a good PP job in order to bring life to this picture. The Far mountains look like clouds, NBeautiful one, Chris.

Hi Chris!!
Gosto desse angulo, ele cria uma perspectiva bem ampla, bela e informativa, que aliada as belas cores e contrastes cria uma composição muito agradável.
