Here is a much better image, in my opinion. I almost entered this color version, but pulled it at the last minute. Maybe I should stick to my guns from now on.
Thanks for all the comments and votes, appreciated as always.

I cannot understand why I didn't take the time to comment on this during the challenge. In my top 5 and a well deserved placing. I agree that I like the linked color version better, but I would have smacked you for entering it in an AA challenge.
Very nice capture. The sky however needs to be black like Ansel did and the clouds should be puffy white. He did a lot of reversal in his proccessing which made his photos what they are.
An 8 from me, I love the perspective here.
I was trying to see if I can determine which is Bear's entry and this is one of two that I suspect. the score has nothing to do with that, it's more just personal musings.
