beautiful landscape, great colours, those "hills" in clouds look really interesting, i am not sure about the right bottom corner of the picture, but stilll I like it.... well done

I think this is a fantastic shot. It has such a depth and so many layers. Great colors, from the red to the blue. It is always fascinating to look down on clouds and you've got that too here. I think the inclusion of the snowy cliff on the bottom right is good, it provides perspective and proves that this is not taken from an airplane.

I would have liked to see this as a larger picture, you are allowed 800 pixels you know. Also more information in the note would have been nice. How did you get to this high vantage point, did you have to walk, climb or can you drive up here by car? Things like that.

Wonderful colors, which are really brought out by the polarizer. I'm not sure about including the outcrop in the corner though, but it does add dimension to the shot. Given the chance (and I haven't been there for a few years) I'd try to use a huge lens and create a compressed view.

Great shot. This is a very dramatic view with the clouds and snow. If I were to nit pick, I would suggest to clone out the green speck on the left edge just above the mountains. That's nit picking, I think the shot is awesome.

Très belle image. J'aime beaucoup le contraste entre le blanc de la neige et le rouge des rochers. Superbe

Wow! This is my country! The clarity here is marvelous, and I'm sure glad you had your camera for this show! Composition is marvelous, as is the depth of tones here. Good stuff!

Incredible shot. The clouds are fantastic and the light makes the scene especially beautiful.

Fantastic landscape which you have captured very well. The colours are amazing and the picture is so crisp and clear, I can feel the cold, clean air in my face just watching it.
Hope to see this in real life some day :)

Stunning colors, and I'm very jealous you got to spend New Years in Moab (it's one of my all-time favorite places!)

Yes , also a very unusual picture !
it's like a dream land...
I like :
1.the way the clouds make your eye " move" over & around the scene , go back & forward
2.the rock on bottom-right that is " closed" the cadr.
well done, Lyn !

Incredible photo of a place I am moving to in three years. Skiing in the La Sals is an experience not soon forgotten.

beautifully arranged picture. I like the connection between the planes of the picture, that create the sense of depth.
Very professional.
