Kanchenjunga2013-83

I conceived of this photo, with white wafting smoke contrasted with a dark background, before I even started my trek in eastern Nepal in May. Smoking pictures capture a person enjoying a guilty pleasure, and so much character is revealed in their face, posture, even the way the smoke moves. So when I saw this lady, who had a wicked sense of humor, in the perfect lighting to get the shot I was after, I jumped on it. This is a crop taken with a Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 and Sony a99.
