 * Support – Dramatic geologic formation. Decent detail for 14 years ago. Leads infobox. (Might be croppable from bottom or right). – Sca (talk) 15:09, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Support could be, i would put some more sky, but questionable if you saw LCD screen on that UV - suppose you didnt have viewfinder. --Petar Milošević (talk) 12:46, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the framing is awful tight at top. but it's still an impressive mountain. -- Sca (talk) 16:47, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The composition was a deliberate choice as far as I can remember. I like how the curving lines of Cholatse outline, Chola moraine, valley slopes on the right, and the rocky Khumbu/Lobuche river at the bottom interconnect, echo, play and counter-balance each other. And the Cholatse peak when almost scratching the top, nearly spearing the top, looks more imposing and commanding to me. The scene shows the mountain in all its glory, but also provides enough important surrounding context. While reprocessing the image, I was thinking about the crop, and the only crop that worked was a slight 10% crop on the right. However, the original framing looked just as good to me, so I ended up leaving it as it is. --Argenberg (talk) 09:55, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
