I recognize those grasses and hills! I like the bands of color - the reds, greens, yellows, greens again, darkness and grey clouds - very cool stuff.

love the processing on this one! - the center placed horizon works very well on this

the b/w treatment is fabulous and the lighting and quality of the contrast of the snow and shadow and sky and trees is on the money 10

Wow! This is a perfect example of rule of third - that sliver of orange really sets this image off

interesting perspective - the major issue I see with this image is the noisy sky.

What a great location - I see a couple things that I would recommend modifying to improve the 'wow' of this great area.

First, you have a good perspective showing taking a relatively low angle at the land in front of you and having the hill/mountain in the top 1/3 of the image. But, the ground/water is really dark and could benefit from a little brightening (dodge/burn) or some HDR type approaches. Secondly, the sky has a bit of noise in it. Third, the image seems a little soft - I think a little USM to bring out the great detail in the rock could help.

Great location and nice perspective - would have liked this a little better with a little more balance between the sky and the bright grasses in the foregroung - the grasses and rocks in the foreground almost seem too bright compared to the sky above
