nice view, but seems severely oversharpened

Very nice view, but I find the sharpening artifacts along the ranges distracting, and there is some blue block at the left that doesn't seem to belong there.

Sharpening halos aren't attractive, but what great composition and shades.

the layers of mountains are wonderful, but the halo around the edges of the mountain peaks suggest that the processing was pushed a bit too far

looks like there is some haloing on the mountain edges.

An impressive view I sure to be standing there and observing the view...I would be 20 feet away from the edge fighting down my panic;-) Love the look of the mist/haze hanging around the distant mountains. The shapes and craggy rolling curves of these types of mountains with the mist hanging there are always appealing to look at. While the shot is good it has the potential to be even better IMO. The very faint colors of the sky makes this look really washed out and, at least for me, makes me crave a bit more color. I see some pale, pale pinks and violets but it is almost...hmmm, color starved, does that make sense? Maybe boosting the saturation a tad more to bring up those colors would help make this a more visually appealing landscape. I am not so sure the foreground with the cloudcover has as much visual impact of those rolling mountains enshrouded with mist. That is the main subject that keeps drawing my eyes back to look at it. A 'panorama' crop would be such a nice clean and minimalistic landscape shot especially if you up the contrasts in the highlights/midtones/shadows. That I feel would make this good shot into a breathlessly dramatic one.

You were up really high! Above the clouds. Cool.

I like all the layers but feel it's oversharpened.

Super! love the low contrast interpretation
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Too sharp, too much haloing. Otherwise a beautiful scene.

very good shot, i like composition, and i like this overlapping plans, many compliments,

Nice sight, but oversharpened with very distracting halos along the crests. The hightlights are a bit blown out too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

What a beautifull place. Wow. Comp is good. Whites have been blown a bit I believe. Taken earlier or later for softer light would have really made this good shot and excellent one 7

Over processed here to my eye.

I wish you did not oversharpen this. The oversharpening halo is too obvious. A little too much detail lost in the highlights. Composition is very good. 6

I like this style of photo and I'm enjoying the composition. This shot seems to have suffered a tad in post-processing with oversharpening. Could also use a slight hit in contrast to richen up the shadows (although that would send the borderline highlights over the edge to for sure blowouts I'm afraid). This would be a good candidate to share in the forums after the challenge and ask "what would you do with this?"...maybe share a small copy of the original for various edits. Good luck in the challenge.

A bit more sharpness would be nice. I do like the clouds and the transition of dark to light. Makes the eye look a lot deeper into the shot. 6
