Thanks for all the comments. Roger all the noise comments too. I agree lots of noise. The problem was that I was on travel and only had a basic jpg file and no editing software to work with except picasa. It was incredibaly cold and windy up there and I had a hard time just standing still.

Stunning view with incredible depth from atop the world overlooking the snow capped mountain peaks. Just a little bit of a pity about the noise in the sky. 10

a pass with some type of noise reducing plug in would really help this out...to me the clouds especially are quite grainy

Awesome view; really interesting subject. Noticeable noise in the sky is unfortunate.

Too much grain. Try a program like noise ninja to help clean up your picture.
