Thanks for the comments. The site is between Canon City and Salida in Fremont County, Colorado. The sky was very cloudy/foggy and the clouds lifting just after sunrise. No storm just clouds and shadows on the heavy Colorado snow pack above 12,000 ft.

I think the tones really nail the cold of the mountains, a cold which I'm sorta sick of already!! None the less, great photo and good light!

Oh wow... This one came unexpected. I like the way you shot this mountain from high level. Mountains are usually shot from down, making ordinary postcards out of the pictures. I love the subtle colour scheme and fantastic dappled light on the snow. Great idea to come out early morning for this shot. I like contrast with the dark hill on the right making the light more prominent. Excellent.

It looks like you were going for a morning light look (which you did) but the image seems really dark on my monitor.
