Wow - I need to get out my sunglasses. That's intense and certainly worthy of the challenge!!!! Love the smoke stack rising up amidst those beautiful orange clouds.

Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous shot. Not sure it is high contrast as most of the colors seem to fall in the brown/orange range.

Wow - Very naturally beautiful shot. The somewhat muted tones (given today's tendency to oversaturate) are a nice change of pace - especially the browns in the water. It's a very peaceful and serene image that looks like it could have been extracted from just about anywhere on earth. Good job on the editing, not to overdo it (I have a real hard time with that!). Very nice.

Really stunningly beautiful subject and composition. The colors are great, as is the focus/DOF. It may sound odd, but the blue of the "pot" really seems a bit out of place. Have you/Did you consider making it a more homogenous color during processing? I think it might take the viewer's eye away from the main subject less if it were one of the tones already present, so as to blend in. Just my 2 cents... Beautiful shot.
