huh, some might not like it due to its obvious photoshop-ness, but i do. the sunsets over those mountains are so unique, as they are so flat and far away you dont really see the sun disappear; it just glows and glows and then is completely gone all of a sudden. very cool imo

I think that the lay of the clouds makes the horizon look a little out of level, even though on close inspection, it actually is level.
I remember seeing the effect that you mention in your comment when I was up there on vacation in the summer. The processing looks a little hard, but that makes for a very moody looking scene overall, which is ok with me.

the sky is dramatic ,horizon is slightly tilted. Wish there was some foreground interest to make this shot even better.6

I love the difference in the dark clouds and the orange sky line.

Impressive sky! Love the way it mixes with the sunset (I think sunset?) near the horizon.

Painty feel to this and must be some really heavy pp work on this. Still very nice. Of everything the only thing that is a tad over the top is the orange sky...Somehow we need to get that less "Plastic" Thats just nit picking and maybe me. Remains a very good pic well composed

Saturation is a bit over done and this is not a wildly interesting image.

colors seem off on this. Unnatural look to it.

I like the dark clouds, but the color of the sky in the background looks a bit oversaturated.

The editing is too heavy and obvious, imo.

My favorite state. Rainbow sky.

Nice perspective, menacing sky, colours look oversaturated to the point of being fake.

Colors are garish and it looks like too much noise reduction -- especially in the sky, but I don't see good textures anywhere really. Good use of thirds.

Beautiful but over processed to my eye.

Dramatic shot, but I am not crazy about the overprocessing on the sky. Bit too much burn for my tastes.

Great colours on the horizon and interesting shades through the clouds which are a major feature of this photo. The offset road works really well also

The colors look a tad bit over-processed, but I can't tell if that's what you were going for...
Still a captivating picture!
