You've somehow given that sky an atmosphere of vast expanse, of power, and of menace. I love it.

Love the color - this is the color (to me) of contre-jour. Nice reflections off the water, too.

The top and bottom parts feels like two separate pictures to me, not really related to each other. When this came up on my screen, the bottom part was "below the fold", scrolled off the bottom. As far down as I could see was to the mountains. Then I scrolled farther and I was surprised. This is a stunningly beautiful image, and it impresses me a lot. But in all honesty, I think I like it a bit better when it's cropped short at the mountains, probably with a 4x5 frame.
