Took this picture on the way to Salida, Colorado near Villa Grove. These are the Sangre de Cristo mountains, they look so beautiful with all the snow on them. I really would have liked to have gotten a picture for the Peace Challenge this week as Peace is such an important concept but I just couldn't come up with anything that wasn't a snapshot.

I really lie the texture and colors here. the way you have composed the leading line of the fence with the mountains seems a little awkward to to me. Perhaps it is that the fence and mountain range are fighting for my attention as the subject.
This should be in a gallery somewhere. A beautiful take on this challenge. Your levels are perfect white snow and nice darks in the posts. I would say this is def going to be a star shot or better ... good luck 10
Just came back for another look So many different lines ... awesome
So desolate, and yet so incredibly beautiful. The only thing that could make this a better shot is a blue sky or a black thundering sky, both of which you can't achieve in basic (or without a weather machine). *9*
I like the overall picture. The mountains are clear and contrast nicely with the sky, and the grass and fence in the front give some nice detail to look at. I do however think the leading line in it degrades the picture rather than enhance it. It leads my eye to a point where nothing happens. That's a bit of a disappointment. I think it would have been nicer if the fence ran all the way to the right. Or just without the fence, but not in this challenge. 6
