nice capture. love the colors and tones you have here. some areas of the image feel a bit over-processed and uneven, but, all the same, you have a good image. hope this does well for you. good luck!

Seems to me that this scene has a little too much dodging and burning, something does not seem real here. Can not quite put my finger on it.

great shot maybe a little over sharpened

There's some good stuff here, but the down-side is perhaps stronger I'm afraid: that hugely burnt-out sky, some lack of detail in the trees (this perhaps is as much to do with too much local contrast - note the sense of halos around the edges, which means that there is a good deal of work for the eye to do to make anything out in the details), and strange contrast in the trunk of that nearer tree. It's a pretty good shot of a familiar scene froom a compositional point of view, but I think your processing has let it down, and perhaps allowing that sky to get so over-exposed in your original shot.

Sky is blown out. Cool composition though.

What a magnificient view. Love the composition. The processing however is readily apparent given the halos around the trees, burning of the snow, and unnatural lighting of the face of half-dome.

I'd like to compare this to the original. Good work overall.

When I saw this I immediately thought 'Wow!' A sim ply stunning capture. The sky is a little burnt out but it doesn't seem to distract much! I'm gonna ignore it and give you a 10 as the rest is so fantastic!!!

This is just a GORGEOUS picture! It makes my heart ache to be in a place like that. The colors are aMAZING, and the sharpness from top to bottom, front to back is incredible. I love your sky. . . I just love everything about this picture. Excellent job, and the BEST of luck with this shot!!! 10
