Basic editing. What a downer. Otherwise I may have entered this pic as a normal entry, with some detailed editing of areas, balanced it out, etc.
As it was, though, I went for extreme basic editing instead. I predict a 4 because DPC hates this stuff. Who cares?
Editing - Contrast, light/shadows, crop, curves, resize, resize sharper, USM, save for web.
Post-challenge : Yep, looks like I split the voters down the middle with this one, favouring the "I don't like it" side. Still worth a go though I think! Thanks for all the comments and views :)

Well, teammate, I bombed this only because it really DNMC for me. I love the shot, it just doesn't fit Rural Landscape by my definition. The outrageous processing works for the shot
Just slightly over the top for me. I see it has been validated - maybe I don't understand the rules completely. Would love to know how you did this inside the challenge rules.
I really like the framing of the shot, it's location and of course the cloud cover. I would have given this a higher score however, if more of it's natural aspect had been preserved. The color in the clouds is great, but as a sacrifice the bleeding of color thru saturation in the hillside is too distracting. I'd actually like to see the original.
I am cursing the fact that we weren't allowed advanced editing on this. I love the idea of the severe colors but I think using basic, it just didn't quite get the effect it deserves. Still a valiant effort.
I LOVE the idea/concept behind this. Technically it looks like you were inhibited by basic editing and went for the "bizarre" as opposed to a technically superior shot (which I think "almost" worked). Still I have to give this high marks for creativity.
