Happened to be in Grand Teton National Park during the challenge (celebrating my 16th wedding anniversary!) and visited the Chapel of the Transfiguration, which had this lovely window few behind the alter. Had to do quite a bit with levels and masking to bring out a little detail inside the window frame.

Wow- what a cool find! I really like the framing and the centered composition too. There's something not right about this and I'm having a hard time putting my finger on it.
The contrast is varied. In the trees you have it nailed but the mountains are losing detail. I know it's normal but with the sky having almost no gradient it seems strange...
The image is very cool toned and I'd like to see it warmer a bit. You might check it out and see if you like that too. I see that you used a mask for the interior and I think it was a bit too much- grain is starting to show in the blacks.
But really there's an overall majestic quality you've captured- it's awesome!
I like how your image is framed, with the myjestic mountains in the background. Well suited for the challenge, would like to see a deeper blue in the sky. nice shot
