I just got back from the Colorado Rockies. I think we actually missed the peak of fall, but when we came around the mountain and saw that mountain side in all its fall glory, rising up to meet those snowy wintery peaks, it took my breath away. Unfortunately, a photo just doesn't do it justice. ..but I hope it is at least appealing enough to get a decent score.

Beautiful shot, Sandy! It makes me want to get away to the peaceful side of life. I love the way the colors look like they transend from black and white (mountain tops) to the colors of fall. Very well done, indeed!
I'm disgusted with the voters in this challenge...aside from this shot being vastly underappreciated, I can name about 30 others that are equally poorly scored...*pfft*
As a thumbnail this photo is beautiful. Full size the entire photo seems a bit blurry. Is it just me? Compositionally speaking, it is a 10. Colors are great, subject matter very appealing. Just the blurriness bothers me a bit.
This image is so deserving of a 10! The colors are amazing, the clairity is crystal clear and the composition is beautiful. Your title is perfect- I love the contrast between the cool fall colors and the cold ice/snow on the mountains. Great Job!
Stunning image here, as I love the richness of autumn colors, and it just works so perfectly for me.....
I love this one, and it makes me feel like I am on top of the mountain.....
I do hope you do well with this one.....
If you looks close enough, the top of the mountain on the keft looks like a map of australia at a slight angle....
"Wow", I love that, and I am going to give you an extra point....as I am a true "Aussie" through and through. A "10" from me.....
I love this shot. those colors are so rich and varied, and of course the peaks are so majestic. all wrapped in a wonderfully crisp and cool atmosphere. I love how the snow covered trees tell you exactly how the conditions were so very different depending on where you stood...up high and it's cold and wet, while down below it's probably rather pleasent.
the mountains are SO crisp and sharp and the trees on lower left aren't bad...but the right lower corner seems out of kilter with rest of pic? gl in challenge 6
