That is one heck of a shot. The person standing put it all in awsome perspective.

As impressive as the achievement of the climber we can see, I’m even more impressed by the achievements of the climber we can’t see, the photographer. Beautiful shot!

Avishek,
Incredible focus and sharpness in this image. My Father JUST passed away….for me this imaage gives me such meaning that now my Dad is really surveying God’s wondrous majesty thru his lifelong faith from this earthly life now into his now eternal life . THank you for giving me this meaning this morning.

This takes my breath away! The sense of scale is huge, making the climber communicate what an accomplishment it really is. Wonderful!!

Thanks for the extreme effort you made to bless many around the world with this photo. It almost appears to be taken from a helicopter, but the perfect focus rules that out.

Oh gosh this is stunning and makes me want to go back soooo much, it’s 5 years since I was last climbing in Nepal/Tibet, but your image makes me want to return straight away, it’s absolutely beautiful, congratulations.
