Pikes Peak is over 14,000 feet above sea level and can be seen from almost anywhere in Colorado Springs. This site brings many tourists and is a major contribution to the local economy. I've been at the summit several times and the view is breathtaking.

Man I miss this view, I grew up seeing this from our bay window! Miss seeing the balloon races on Memorial day speckled across this view. Very nice shot.
Initial=nice and clear and bright Composition=the big rock formation in the foreground stops my eye.. There isn't a smooth transition to the distant peak Clarity (focus, details)=beautifully done Exposure=equally beautiful Interesting or Emotive=fair

Colorado Springs!!!!! I spent two years in my childhood there (ages 13-15). That must be the Garden of the Gods in the foreground? Nicely done. 9 paganini
I love how there are so many diverse textures and "surfaces" (for lack of a better word). From the sky to the snow at the summit, tothe tree covered mtns, to the bare rock to the scrub brush in front of the rock. Great composition and exposure. 8 sjgleah
O' are you in Woodland Park? Colorado Springs? I know that area well, my family is and was there. Very nice shot, love seeing the peak again. I can smell the air there. Good lens. Score 7 Justine
The view is very nice. The colors could be enhanced a little for saturation, and in my humble opinion, the red rock in the forground could be used better if it were not dead center. Perhaps on an angle or to the side to lead the viewer around the scene. You did a good job of showing multi-dimensions here. Good luck in the challenge! Grayce aka Gracious
This is a beautiful shot but somehow the brown rock or hill in the foreground takes away fromt the peaks in the background. I wonder if you could have composed this differently. Lighting is great.
