Having been there, I'm bothered by the oversaturated colors.

something interesting in the fore/mid/background --- dramatic scene -- good use of water to refect the mountains. one of my favorites this challenge

Not sure what happened, but the colors seem off. lots of hue shift in the top left corner, on the mountain and in the water.

The blues and cyans are just too much for the eye to handle, desaturating them a little would have helped...

Very nice but I have to agree with a friend of mine, the sky is too blue and it looks a little grainy with the lake but other wise it is very nice.

A touch too much blue, and the sky looks a little grainy. Everything, except the sky, appears to be under-exposed too. The subject fits the challenge well, and the composition is okay.

Very nice composition with the foreground tree and the lake. Mt St Helens itself is a bit un-contrast-y and appears to be behind lots of haze. On the right side of the mountain, I can see lots of jagged lines which suggests oversharpening or maybe resized wrong. The sky above has noise.

Great photo here. I am curious about your processing on this one as I find the blues and cyans confusing. The sky is cyan, the mountains are blue, yet the reflection of the sky in the water is blue. I would think that the sky would be blue and the mountain cyan, naturally, and it would balance out the colors in the photograph better. 9

Very nice photo, but I think the blue channel is oversaturated
