surprised your lovely picture didn't have a stronger showing. I gave it an 8. Beautiful shot.

Very nice. The little details make this very interesting -- the shadows along the foreground crest, for instance. And do I see skiers? I certainly see ski trails...

A six for you. (And if my assumption is correct that this is marnet, this appeals to me in a way that your Free Study entry doesn't. That's not to say that this is "better," just that it's my preference of the two.)

Hi, Brian, I don't usually respond to comments but I was wondering about this one - luminous means full of light, how would black help? It was figurative and goes back to my statement about wanting more mystery. It doesn't really need more black. It's quite perfect. Sorry for the confusion.

Aha! You meant dark rather than black. Sorry, I misunderstood.

Originally posted by bohemka: I could've sworn I commented on this last night. I suppose not. Well it's a hell of a shot. Only thing I might have done differently is deliver a heavy dose of dodge & burn to those clouds to get them to pop a bit and hold up their end of the photo, or crop another 40 pixels or so off the top of the image. The lighting on the peaks is quite nice but the clouds are just kind of blah next to them, yet my eyes keep floating up there for some reason. A tighter crop to remove some of those clouds would make this image more dramatic. Before you consider these points, however, please keep in mind you placed nearly 100 spots ahead of me in this challenge.

Thanks, Scott. I agree with the crop but I would not like to make the clouds more dominant as it would take the focus away from the light on the mountains :)
