 Took this on a backpacking trip in the high sierras of CA @ about 8k feet just after a t-storm blew thru. The peaks are Mount Ritter and Banner Peak... I hope to climb them some day! Late afternoon sun in the foreground w/ dark storm clouds in the background is easily my favorite lighting scenario in nature. That combined w/ the glow of the mountains reflecting off the clouds really makes this image for me. Hope you enjoy as well!

I tweaked the levels/contrast/lightness/saturation, and did a little burning in PSCS4.

Nice. It's all the negative space that give this its impact. Great photo.

Yes fantastic light, but I feel there is too much sky. Maybe a square crop would've looked better, still I like it.

Probably a little more dead space than I'd of kept, but I like the image.
