Seeing the residential style shown in this photo will remind me of the residential style in mountainous areas of Xizang Autonomous Region, China. Posted: 11/08/2023 21:03:15

Beautiful and iconic image taken at a time few photographers probably make it to thi spot. I like the buildings and the red of the one on the right adds a touch of color that I think enhances the image. I have the feeling without having a good comparison to be sure, that the image leans a little to the right and if you feel I am right, this would be easy to correct without loosing much of anythihng in the image.

The roads emerging from the lower right side lead the eye into a very well composed photograph. An excellent travel image from a unique location. Posted: 11/28/2023 05:08:28
Excellent image, could only be one place in the world... The layers of the mountain range with the blue lighting really gives the photo depth. Posted: 11/28/2023 09:02:19
