Adjusted Exposure, Contrast, Saturation, Vibrancy. Cloned out parts of 2 small vehicles on the ridge. Sharpen, resize for web.
Well this is slightly bittersweet! I'm honored to receive such nice comments and a fav for this. Missed being in the top 5 by that much!! But hey, I'll take a top 10 any day of the week so thanks very very much for the nice score! I was lucky enough to have this be my first accepted entry into 1x, so between that and a top 10 here, its my most successful pic ever! Yahoo!!
My favorite comment was "ddddddddddddddddddddd". I guess at least it wasn't an "fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff". :)

Such a simple shot but it really screams! Nicely done. The sky, water, and color really makes this stand out. Congrats.
Kind of looks like the Columbia Gorge.
Simpe, efficient and effective - a complete technical success with the subtle exposure of detail in the dark areas and the very good capture of the light moving around the mountain. Nordic paganism has a mythology about the Fire Snake moving down a mountain side and this is almost a perfect representation of that from an artistic standpoint. A very good concept perfectly executed.
