great shot, the front trees are a bit dark, i would crop out a bit of the sky, its taking too much room

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... this was one of the few images I scored a 10. One of my criteria for scoring a 10 is "Would I have this photo on my wall?" and for this one, I surely would.

Almost 3 pictures in 1, and as such one I find very intriguing. The warm light looks beautiful... an awesome picture.

lovely light hitting the peaks.the dark portions don't really help the image, recommend a more panaromic crop, 6

I so honestly envy you this view and the fact that you could be there and see it life, I love nature and mountains so I know that no picture can capture the beauty of it as you can see in 'live' but still this is great capture of great moment


regards ;)

Great capture. Very nice processing really brings out the detail. I like the sunlit mountain peak and the clouds along the base of it.

nice
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:27:39 AM
Alludes to depth but still feels rather flat somehow... missing something to make it a really good image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 07:50:01 AM
Good shot. The bottom portion of the pic is a bit dark which might hurt the score.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

intimidating mountain. great lighting coming from behind the hill, makes it look like the storm is rising to gobble up the mountain.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:14:42 PM
I like the sun breaking through onto the lower left.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This makes me want to know where Sorata is. Would like to see this for myself. Simply lovely. Thanks.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:00:53 PM
ohhhh, this is pretty...personally...I find the dark shadows in the foreground draw you away from the beautiful mountains...but if you would have cropped it just below the dark mountain range keeping just a touch of the lighter brown mountains/range...wow
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:57:13 AM
Love the light!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:01:14 AM
I like the dappled light on the mountains.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:52:47 PM
Cool, the clouds almost look unreal. Very nice piece.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:42:31 PM
Very beautiful shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:45:33 PM
I like the shadows and the clouds give real interest to the overall photo, mountain is a bit centered in my opinion but works nicely here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:32:37 PM
Beautiful capture, IMO a little more light in the foreground might have kicked it up a touch but great the way it is :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:11:47 PM
Beautiful landscape...but the bottom appears too dark and indistinguishable.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:07:36 PM
Oh, super-sweet! Nicely seen, well-rendered.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:13:40 AM
Great lighting. I may have cropped a bit off the top so that the peak is just above the first horizontal third of the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:03:10 AM
