 Pluto. This is taken in the Colorado Rockies, but it had an essence of pure otherworldliness. I think because this place may have single handedly one of the most dumbfoundingly stunning places I have ever been. I hope you like it and too have conveyed both the location and the challenge appropriateness.

Weird, the sky looks like the ground and yet there are people on the shore. Definately meets the challenge topic - 6

A good try at a fantasy world. The people add perspective to the grandeur of the scene.

Most of the lower frame and snow is overexposed. This will be a distraction for most viewers. The rocks have a granular appearance that will be interpreted as a poorer quality image. It is very difficult to get fine detail like that to be focused properly.

You Icelander's and your settings just are fabulous. The people give the shot tremendous perspective, although they also work against the title of the picture. I do like the B&W conversion. 6

I look forward to seeing how this was done. It's a great effect. I hope this survives the inevitable DQ request.
