The first image is nicely composed and interesting, I reckon you should massage it somewhat in PP to reign in that dynamic range and bring out some more detail in the people and buildings. If it was shot in RAW that should be no issue whatsoever.

I also like #4. The white balance could be a bit more on the warm side for my liking, but it's a nice shot nevertheless.

Cheers
Steffen.

Thanks Steffen, I have worked on #1 but have not been impressed with the results. That one is pretty much as shot to see what people may say. I might need someone to guide me through, to get something good out of it.

Contre-jour is a far nicer term than backlighting (I had to look it up :) ).

Trip was quite amazing. Kathmandu is a hive of activity, if you can get past the dust, traffic and pollution, there's something interesting around every corner.

Flew to Lukla and Hiked 20 days round trip to Gokyo, over Cho La Pass to Everest Base Camp and back to Lukla. Tough trekking, but the scenery is so amazing it makes it all worthwhile.

I had a few pano's from the top of Gokyo Ri and Kala Pattar but, given how hard it is to climb those suckers I wasn't really able to time my climb to optimal lighting. I ended up having midday shots which are largely unimpressive.
