 November sunrise over the Snowy Mountain Range. I loved how the sun just kissed the ridges of the last mountain, Elk Mountain.

Adjusted levels, did some selective gaussian blur on the sky to ge the colors to blend right, usm and cartoon mask to hilight, sharpened and blured as needed.

This image looks overprocessed to me and lacks a crispness that I would expect from a nature image such as this. Overall it is just too soft for my taste. The scene is lovely though and the colors are very beautiful!

Really nice colours but seems a little soft overall. I think a USM would work wonders with this shot.

For me, the colors in this photo are just fighting each other too much, and you *totally* lose the mid-ground in shadow.

the sky is fairy tale-like, but the dark middle part of the picture draws the final effect down
