The Wellsville Mountains again. These must be my favorite mountains; I see them when I leave my house every morning. When they are doing lovely things, it is very difficult to not grab the camera instead of go to work.
I'll admit to doing quite a lot of Photoshop to this photo. The trees weren't so yellow in the photo, though they seemed to be in real life. I exposed for an average between sky and mountains and trees, so nothing was as dynamic as it was in real life. I also darkened it a bit. Since I'm colorblind and without my wife, I have no idea if my colors are correct after applying things like contrast, which always does weird things to colors. But I like it.

This looks like a dsidwell shot, but I could easily be wrong.
Lovely shot! Excellent lighting and composition, this should be in the top 5 of this challenge, stunning.
I loved the color in this shot. The huge expanse of sky makes even the mountains look surmountable - gives an overall feeling of hope and tranquility. Nice job!
By the scoring so far, I think my shot may medal in this challenge. However, if it loses to this one I won't be surprised in the least. Beautiful. The only fault I have with it is the uneven sky from the (I'm guessing here) wide-angle lens and polarizer. With my 17-40 and the polarizer I sometimes play with the individual colour saturation in the RAW conversion to minimise this. Nevertheless, awesome. 10.
Excellent use of negative space giving the mountains a more "groudned" feel linking htem beautifully with the trees at earth level. Excellent exposure imo, perhaps a little too sharp on the mountains given their distance. Lovely.
Somehow reminds me of the misty mountains in Lord of the rings. Is this perhaps New Zealand? Anyway love the shot but the sky is a bit too blue for my taste.
A bit too much sky for my taste. Possible you could have cropped out a good bit of that sky and maybe utilized the rule of thirds. Looks great though when I scroll down some :-) great shot!
