Taken during a recent climb up Longs Peak's Keplinger's couloir, descending after also summiting Mt. Meeker. Great climb, though very long. A very long (13 mile) bushwack for this one.

Crazy crazy. I looked at some of the top photos and I just don't understand things here anymore. Was hoping you'd get a 6+ with this but oh well. A beautiful shot no matter what!
Nice! Shooting against the light is pretty hard, and this is done nicely. The saturation feels a little artificial though - especially the rich green on the right foliage. Love the smooth rushing water.
Overall, this is a beautiful scene, especially with the sun burst shining through. But the blurriness of the trees is very distracting, and taking a lot away from this image in my opinion.
What aperture were you at? I'm guessing you knocked it wayyyy down because you didn't have an ND filter handy? -- I know this because I can see every speck of dust on your sensor - and you've got plenty of dust on that sensor.
Outside of that issue, you've got some very strange color things going on, and a generally overprocessed feeling to the image... 5(E) for great effort.
Slightly too oversaturated for my taste though the perspective is novel because it looks like you were standing in the water. I can feel the urgency of the stream because of it.
