Cool shot, the movement of the clouds is nice. I also like the sun lighting them up.

Beautiful clouds and sunset colours. A few compression artifacts around the mountain, that might be easily fixed by saving it a different way.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:56:19 AM

Nice.. one of the few images that I like the object of interest in the center.

Slight editing evidence around the top of the hill and the title doesnt really fir the scene but its a very good shot

A memorable view. Brings back memories of my Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Worth the trek!

I hate to leave even a minor critique on such an awesome shot, but I need to leave them fairly. I noticed some compression artifacts around the edge of the mountain and sky. Looked at the image properties. With a 58k file size, you could have used way less compression, which would have avoided those artifacts and possibly gained detail in the rest of the image as well. This entry ought to place highly in spite of that minor problem. I'll probably be the only person anal enough to notice it.

wonderful capture
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting peak, but the centered composition leaves this one lacking in my opinion. I like the pastel coloring that you achieved. With a different composition, I think the score for this one would grow.

Nice perspective being above the clouds. Well taken.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:27:18 AM
Very pretty. A little to muted for me but its a great subject.

Very nice - makes the viewer feel airborne.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Like the way the peak is above the clouds.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:27:42 AM
Very cool. Nice range and contrast.

I am seeing some kind of strange noise or compression artifacts just inside the mountain. Also, the white border that is not even from the top and bottom and sides is very distracting and takes away from an otherwise beautiful photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:26:08 PM
Great colors. Might be a bit stronger if it was not centered.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:59:46 PM
beautiful!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:20:27 PM
Killer shot, though I don't like the border.

Beautiful image. Lighting through the clouds is wonderful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:56:10 PM
Great impact. This must have been really high up. The image seemed a little heavy on the left side but the exposure was great.
