The peak of the mountain Nuptse, one of the neighbours of Mt Everest in Nepal. This was taken just after watching the sun set from the nearby mountain of Kala Patthar.

Awesome image. That cloud looks as though it is literally being deflected by the peak. Gorgeous light.

Fabulous mountain image Thomas! I really like the motion and uniqueness of the cloud against the mountain top. And I agree, this has a definite look of the Himalayas. What I also really enjoy is the transition of colors in the snow from cool to warm- and the crispness is wonderfully captured and presented. No nits or suggestions. Nice to see a post in Landscape.

Wow, the sharp clarity of the mountain is wonderful, and the splash of colored cloud fills out the comp nicely.

Majestic might be an understatement. The light, the cold, the starkness, everything is so beautifully depicted.
