Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

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.
