Great shot, can´t fault it in any way except I don´t find it "awesome" but definately good enough for an 8 from me and I don´t give out many of those. Good luck in the challenge!
Nice shot! The mountain range is dramatic. I would have given this shot a higher score if not for the fact that much of the details on the lower part of the shot are lost.
The colours don't pop out like I'm sure they could, and there's nothing that my eyes are immediately drawn to. Nonetheless, a nice shot of one of the prettiest mountain ranges in the world.
