My friend and I were on a photo outing to take pictures of and aorund Mt Rainier when I spotted this view from the road. The only editing was sharpening, saturation and the water color filter.

I totally and completely disagree with some of the comments that this looks too photoshopped. This was one of my top picks for the challenge and I'm a bit disappointed to see it placed so low! It's a nice subtle effect without being obvious as some of the other entries are. Dont feel too bad about where you placed, because this is awesome!
I think you had a very good photograph to work with. I am not fond of the posterized effect, however. I would have rated this higher if you had approached this from a different angle.
Looks photoshopped to me. The eyes are also looking for something right there in the front, but it's not there, so i get the feeling of incompleteness.
A nice photo, gotta love foggy tree shots, though I would likely have cropped out the partial tree on the right. What really kills it is the black speckles all over the faded trees. Not working for me at all I'm afraid.
This is a pretty shot, but just "looks" to post edited. I prefer a picture that gets the effect with camera skill, not computer skill. Just my preference.
