•  Support Really impressive. Consider cropping away a bit of the sky though; not so much that we lose the beautiful deep blue hue of the upper atmosphere, but enough to make the mountains clearly appear in the upper half of the image. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:23, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

•  Question Nice scene, but isn't it too dark? --Milseburg (talk) 13:06, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

  @Milseburg Not in my opinion. The scene was captured during sunset. Also, you can still see the details of the mountain, despite the darkness. -- WildMouse76 (talk) 14:57, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

  Yes, there are details, but as I know from the high mountains, shortly before sunset there is still significantly more light, even in the shade, especially on snowy areas. Milseburg (talk) 15:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

 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)

@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)

•  Question Does anyone have an explanation for this phenomenon? (in particular for the red color of the summit on the left, with its sharp edge to darker areas) To me, this looks weird, but I'm obviously not from Nepal, so I don't know what might have caused this. I'd love to learn more. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 01:27, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

  See Alpenglow -- WildMouse76 (talk) 03:05, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

  @Frank Schulenburg forgot to ping. WildMouse76 (talk) 03:42, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

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)

•  Question Is there consensus, that Everest and Nuptse have still late direct sunlight? --Milseburg (talk) 09:58, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

  @Milseburg It's only me and you, so we don't have enough people to establish a consensus. -- WildMouse76 (talk) 22:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
