excellent range of values. It almost feels like it's still in color. If only there were a bit more contrast between the foreground trees and the immediate hill behind them to highlight the foreground subject. Still, beautiful. Definite 9.

the layered mountains are a great effect, i think they would have done well as the sole point of focus here.

Beautiful scene... I'll be the first to admit I don't have a calibration device, but it seems that the foreground is a bit too dark, and would benefit from a stronger contrast with the background.

I *love* how the background looks.. that in itself would have been a worthy photograph. However, the foreground is just a little too dark and uninteresting, and takes away from the rest of it for me. The silhouette of the tree on the left breaks the beauty of the misty hills.

I'm not sure this works for black and white. I find myself trying to see the colors!

I love this view, but not the (trees? sticks?) in the foreground or the plane trails in the sky. You may think I'm silly, but I think this would be a wonderfully serene photo if it were cropped very narrow to just the large hill in the foreground and the layers of misty hills - very little sky (just before the vapor trails start) and no trees.

Good photo, but it just seems to be missing something. Maybe it would be better in color, I don't know.

beautiful landscape. I like how the shade of the mountains becomes brighter as it moves back due to the fog. excellent quality. 10.

The mountains in the background look great! I'm not so sure about the "trees" in the foreground.

If you had gone just beyond those branches and just captured that wonderful mountain range, you'd have had a fantastic, ribbon-worthy shot.

Beautiful effect. Maybe a little more exposure on the trees in the forground.

This is a beautiful landscape! the sky is a little bright and the foreground a bit too dark for my taste. A ND grad filter in the sky would improve this greatly. I would love to see you re-do this with that adjustment and post it again to show the detail you gain. Still a great composition.

Very cool- Love the vastness of it- Probably looked a lot cooler in color- Wish there were more contrast in the foreground- good job 7

Very nice. Tthe exposure in the back seems perfect for this mood and setting but the front is a bit difficult to see. It may be ok, but I think a little more brightness there would have been good.
