| Wow. You've certainly managed to pull so much out of this... I would not have even tried because I wouldn't have thought this was possible. Excellent treatment of the colours and tones. The more I look the more I see. |

Oh my... was an astounding image. Albeit this image did really well in the challenge, I personally believe that it should have done even better. Very nicely done.

| I agree with what everyone has said about this shot. From the air like this, you have captured the feel of the landscape and geography without being able to see the grit, stress, and garbage that must surely accompany the scene at street level. This is a rare and beautiful snapshot of a very unforgiving landscape. |

| A fantastic shot, of some rarely seen scenery, that could only have been captured in this frozen moment. The noise from the saturated blues in the mountains, and greens in the foothills are all that stand between a a 9 and a 10 here, and I would have went with a 9. My preference would have been to try to de-saturate the noise some, and level the color down overall. Also would have liked to see this slightly sharper. |

| Congrats on the top ten! Was this shot through a window or was it a clear shot? I took something similar from a commercial plane over the Rockies and had a similar color effect, although it was stronger in the orignal so I assumed it was just the glass causing it. |
