Mount Everest during sunset
 Oppose Outstanding scene. But the sharpness doesn't convince me and the elaboration seems too dark to me. IMHO there is also to much empty sky. Overall not perfect enough for a FP. --Milseburg (talk) 16:58, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Milseburg I wouldn't say the scene is too dark. Again, noticable details. However, assuming by the colors on the very top, it is somewhere between nautical and astronomical twilight due to the redness. I've browsed through some categories of mountains during sunset, and the ones that had significant light had a more yellow shade, while this one is more red. The sky could probably be cropped a bit, but the sky is an important feature of this image. WildMouse76 (talk) 22:29, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Schulenburg, technically, it's the same effect that you have at the Horsetail Fall (Yosemite) (nearer where you live). With the sun at the right angle and normal conditions at sunset, the red light will prevail and strike the surfaces that can be reached by the light. The red light is not that uncommon, but it gets so striking when isolated to a few patches by the shadows of surrounding mountains. --Cart (talk) 11:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In summary, the red color and sharp edge you're observing on the summit in the photograph likely stem from a combination of geological factors such as mineral composition, weathering patterns, and the play of light. These natural processes contribute to the unique and often striking appearance of mountain landscapes in Nepal and other mountainous regions around the world. Just learning high-altitude mountain landscape photography based in Nepal thank you. Nir gurung (talk) 14:58, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
