Comment by eugene:
the fact that the picture is square makes it less appealing. Perhaps include more on the right or left, or less sky.

Comment by Artifacts:
This image should win the blue ribbon. Super shot! Great composition and capture of white cloud highlighting the mountain. By far, this is the best example of the Ansel Adams style. The tonal range is perfect and it's super clarity is in the best tradition of Ansel Adams. Ansel himself would praise it.

Awesome contrast. Nice balance between sky and mountain. I love how the clouds trace the mountain top. Nice photo!

Comment by bpickard:
Enhanced contrast between dark peak (I can't bring myself to use that name!) and framing cloud feels a little forced but overall this is a class act which I've bumped up 2 points. The covering of snow is just enough for highlighting without dominating the tones (a problem with several entries). Great capture and processing.

Comment by Arancha:
Dramatic sky, good composition and light ... one of my favorites for this challenge. In my opinion the only "but" about the picture is the border, it kind of distracts instead of help to enhance the picture.
Good luck!!!
