Oh this was yours????? I couldn't decide if I loved you or hated you for being able to get a scene like this. It certainly made my heart hurt! And if I wasn't heading for the Rockies in a few weeks, it might have leaned more towards the hate. ..tee hee. .. . juuuuuuuust kidding! Envy and sinful jealousy could never make me hate you :) But it really is amazing! And I'm shocked that it only got a 5.8??? Seriously??? Arrrrggh!
My best shots came from kinda sorta your neck of the woods when we went to Oregon in September. OMG that is the most breathtaking place on the planet! |

| Nice image. Not sure about the position of the girl in the image. It would be nice to see more of what is in front of the girl. Crop off just to the left of the peaks in the center. |

| If the contrast was a little stronger, this could be an Ansel Adams shot. |

| Beautiful location, but for some reason the image seems a bit flat or faded to me. |

| Would have liked the person to be in a different position in the frame. My preference would have been in the lower left corner. The backdrop is great. 6 |

| You have got a really fabulous backdrop - the scenery is wonderful with the clouds sweeping over the mountain and the gradual layered rise of the landscape up to that mountain. The addition of the person adds a sense of scale - but also could help convey a mood of contemplation and/or introspection. What really kills the overall visual appeal, at least for me, is the odd slight green tinge with sepia like type tones. Color can help invoke or strengthen a mood or feeling. Converting this to straight B&W and then do a Color Balance to cool blue tones would give it a slight blueish tone would not only increase visual appeal but could convey a mood of sadness or feelings of calm or serene beauty(see Duotones IV challenge entries 8,10,17 ; Duotones III # 16 and Duotones II #1 for examples of what I mean). This would be such a stunning picture but color tones bring down its potential! One doesn't have to go the cool blue duotone route - even if this was a B&W with strong dynamic range in the shadows/highlights/midtones (sometimes a straight conversion to greyscale makes these areas flat so you have to do some adjustments) it would be wonderful photo. |

| what lets this majestic scene down is the actual pose of the person...it's great having her in there as it adds perspective, but she looks like she is saying 'please don't take my photo'... 6 |

| This is so beautifull!!! Only thing that bothers is the space behind the girl and her looking to the right. Something does not gel 100% with this. B&W fits this scene for me |

| Feel this could have more pop. It's a fabulous shot - great composition and works in b & w but needs greater contrast. |

| for me this is very flat in the tones...when I'm going to convert a picture to B&W I push the hue/saturation quite a bit to "richen the tone" |

| Amazing scene, I think it would be just as good without the girl. Would love to see it in colour as I don't think the B&W is doing the photo any favours. |

I can see the reason you would go B&W here, and I may well have done the same thing myself, but I'm not sure this particular conversion is the best one.
You have some great rugged scenery here but the B&W seems to have reduced the contrast and the shot kind of just blends together despite the actual harsh landscapes. |
