very nice shot, great landscape, but here is my take on why this did not score higher:

the colors a bit over saturated, in way i can't seem to focus on one spot because the blue color is overwhelming and taking away from the scenary.

my recomendation is this , try tone mapping since you have this shot in raw, generate couple of jpegs at different exposure and load them in Adobe , there is a thread somewhere on how to do that. or of course you can give phtomatix a shot. i am pretty sure this might give it a boost to the 6's.


Thanks for the comments, I agree it was a little over saturated, it was one of the first few tries I did with a new polarizer on my 17-40L. Ive been thinking of looking in to photomatix and mite give the demo a shot if I get a chance in the near future...

This is beautiful and makes me want to be there. I love the serenity and bits of snow.

A landscape (unless it is a really potent, excellently executed landscape) still needs a subject to be a good photograph. This by itself, while a nice peaceful scene, needs that subject to make it pop...
