Great colors and framing. The sense of altitude is a good subject for this challenge. I like the light source and shadow on the rocks in the foreground.
Lovely take on the challenge, the picture isn't screaming "opposites" to me but I admire your different entry and it's a great photo as well......thank god it's not another ice cube over a flame ;-)
Although a nice scenic with great lighting - presented well, it's a real stretch to get "opposites." I know the title tries to convince me, but it doesn't. It still a nice image - thanks for sharing it.
This is a potentially beautiul image, either go back at a different time of day and wait for the right lighting, or take it into photo shop and lighten up the exposure and play with the color balance to make it color correct, as it is there appears to be too much magenta.
Beautiful scenery, and clarity. The subject is in excellent focus, and the background is clear as well. Both artistic and terchnical merit are outstanding to me.
