| I was just bored and browsing through some of the challenges and came across this photo and noticed that you got some 4's 3's and a 2 for it and it blew my mind. My only guess is that these people are extremely jealous that they couldn't have done this themselves. Anyway, just wanted to say what a great photo it is. I would like to see the color version though, I am not the biggest fan of black and white. |

Sorry I didn't get around to commenting on this during the challenge. It was one of quite a few tens I gave. Stunning work as usual :) |

| What, I haven't commented yet? Many congratulations on (yet) another ribbon David. Worthy of Brian Kossof, if it weren't for the aspect ratio: obviously your studying has paid off :-) |

Somehow unrealistic the white spots in the mountains, throws me back to Ansels moonrize! Most importantly though a pleasure for my eyes and mind.

| David... Congratulations on another ribbon. Once again your terrific landscape sits near top of my favorites for a challenge. We have GOT to get together for that Northern AZ photo safari. It will be a blast. If you haven't already taken Antelope Canyon it is a possibility. |

Great image! Reminds me of something Galen Rowell would have done.
Galen was IMHO the best at mountain photography. |

ps I would concur that the snow peaks (and maybe the clouds) were dodged too much - gives it a sort of cartoony look. still like it though. :) |

I have very mixed feelings on this one leaning towards the negative. However I must give you credit for making me think about it as much as you did. Somewhere between this version and the original is perfection...]
Anyways, congrats on the ribbon! Like Pits said, the majority rules.

Very cool photo. The contrast is really nice, and it's eye-pleasing. The sun does look a bit odd, but it's the only thing that detracts, if it does.

| Composition and light are beautiful. The flare around the sun came out particularly nice. The only thing I'm hung up on is that dodge and burn in the mountains looks a little too heavy-handed to me. (If that's not what's happening on the peaks, sorry for the interpretation.) (7) |

I know the dramatic lighting of the mountains is artificial and brought out by creative post processing, but the result is stunning. This has got fine art print written all over it.
