This was one of my 10's so I'm not surprised to see it ribbon. Great light and good use of tone mapping. Thought I recognized the area.

...I am speechless. Thank you! I am incredibly grateful for the comments submitted as they are from some extremely talented photographers. The fact that these people appreciated the image speaks volumes. I'm going to enjoy this feat as I can't even imagine when I'll be back on the front page. Again, thank you all for the kind and supportive comments.

This image was an HDR/Tonemap from a single exposure. -2, 0, +2 from Lightroom. Processed in Photomatix v3.x. Tweaked in Photoshop CS3.

BTW, the day was nothing short of epic. Hoards of knee deep, untouched, light and fluffy pow and pretty much empty as it was a weekday morning. Of course, when you entered that cloud deck below, visibility was ugly...
