post challenge:
this really is an amazing place to drive by. Many people live up in this area and look out at this valley every morning. It changes every day.
thanks for the votes, just glad to be in the right place at the right time.

Pure Magic!
While I was scrolling down, the top of the image ducked under the toolbar, and just as the sun flare (which adds a lot to this btw) got out of view, the wide aspect panoramic look of this image really looks great! Have you post-processed another version of this in a panoramic-aspect crop?
I was sure I had commented on this awesome shot already!??
Well, I thought I told you Congrats, and what a beautiful moment to have captured. I love the soft tones...
Way to make the top 10 on a totally unplanned shot! I love all the blues and whites. Congrats on a really high score, I believe the highest for anyone on our team!
7: I like the way the clouds flow into the hills and the composition is good. The sun at the top is a distraction to the image but I think you need it as without it the whole feel may be a bit bland
