Very grand, very nice landscape. Good shot too, but for me I think you've overdone it a bit with the processing. It's such an interesting landscape I think it speaks volumes on its own without the heavy handed editing.

This, honestly, is just stunning. My top pick of the challenge... and there are some other images that are extremely good in this bunch. You've nailed the composition, and of course the content is beautiful. What takes it to the next level, IMO, is the fact that you have held the maximal amount of detail, with no hint of oversharpening. Nice job.
From the sun angle and the foreground detail, I do assume this is multiple exposure HDR; it is, IMO, what HDR is all about, rendering a natural scene believably, yet with more detail in darker areas than would normally be possible.

Beautifull setting. PP work i hope to learn from this. Rocks on right, especially bottom right looks very soft and not overall sharp
