Ha! This is match if I've ever seen one! I cropped some unnessesary noise from the city below and burned around the top for some more distinction, but as far as you can see, this is a beautiful example of when nature collaborates and MATCHES eachother! Thanks for looking!

thanks for all the kind comments. I unfortunately was DQ'd AGAIN. My pictures are getting better and so is my ranking. I'll just have to start paying better attention to the rules. Sorry for being a bad example everyone. Be back soon.
I MADE IT! After only three other challenges (one where I was DQ'd for having text on it) I finally made in the top ten. The other challenges I entered I averaged in the 50% rating. Good to be above average finally. Thanks! I'm going for ribbon next. :)
Congrats on a beautiful image. The only concern I have is in your description about burning around the top. Sounds like a no no to me in basic. Still a lovely capture.
What a wonderful scene - a fabulous photograph, and perfect for the challenge. I am looking forward to finding out where this is once the challenge has ended.
On my first run through I just didnt get the title or relation to the challenge. Now that I am back to comment and look closer it is obvious and I feel a bit stupid for my first reaction. Great sunrays and the glow between the mountains and clouds is very cool. Bumping up to 7.
