Ha, you could have deleted before i jumped in with my comment--but now it's too late! Now, you will be forced to repost with less sharpening! But once you do, it will be KILLER, great comp and atmosphere.

As you wish. Better?

I agreed about the sharpening too. This is a killer shot! Such a nice, and unusual mix of colors. Works very well together for me.

Nice!!!

Wow, Morris. This is very nice. I love the interesting palette of colors and the dusting of snow. Also Kudos for shooting a less photographed location.

Repost is gorgeous Morris! Love the colors as well. Beautiful image!

Great tones and a really nice composition Morris, a superb image! Can't see anything I'd change.

Absolutely stunning capture Morris very unusual mix of colours

Very interesting image Morris! I like the very bright presentation, almost a bit "high key" particular the bg. Very coherently composed from near to far!

love the dappled effect here morris and the hint of the mountains. to my eye, this rendition may be a touch oversharp?

Whoa! Morris! Unbelievably gorgeous detail, comp and color. I'm dumbfounded.

Like a patchwork quilt. Love those lichen covered rocks to. Great job Morris.

Splendid composition.
I especially like how the mountains almost blend into the sky and how the fore and midground resemble a patchwork quilt...almost complete opposites that works surprisingly well here!

This is a unique photo and the color palette is gorgeous! I like it a lot. The second version is better for sure. Well done, Morris.

I love this color combination and the far/near composition is very well done. Beautiful image.

Oh, I absolutely love the palette and delicate detail here, Morris. I'm captivated by patterns and depth. A very unique fall/winter scene beautifully composed.

Fantastic, Morris. I love it. Beautiful comp.

This looks great Morris, it looks like it could have been taken in North Wales (my favourite place).

Wonderful comp, colors, and love the atmosphere. Really put me right in this one, wish I could take a hike through that gulch right now! Less sharpening and it's in.

Lovely! Great scene and I really like the compositon here. Superb mix of colours too!

Morris,

This is nice. I love the patterns in the FG and MG. The snow in the mountains and the white sky creates a stunning contrast and the little snow in the FG ties it all together. Wonderful work.

The limited color palette is wonderful and my eyes flow very easily up to the mountains in the background. Great shot . . . you won't get this one again for a year, it appears.

The light airy feeling this has is excellent. Wonderful work from top to bottom Morris!

The snow really helps give definition to the landscape here. Without it I would imagine the midground to be lacking in distinctive features. The rework is perfect.

Hey Morris,

What a cool spot. The varied color patches throughout the scene are wonderful. That lichen explosion rock in the fg is a great subject. Repost looks awesome

Morris,

Put me down for loving this one! What a marvelous early winter landscape. I'm actually at a loss at describing what I think about this. There's just something about the earthy tones, the lichen contrasted with the snow-dusted peaks... just so much visual appeal here. Great work!

Very artistic, Morris. Umm, I like the sharpness of the first image best. Gives a nice etching type quality to the scene.

Love the muted colors and the composition is classic. I prefer the original post.

Wow...what a great mix of textures, autumn colors and snow. Suh-weeet!

Morris, this is gorgeous. Such wonderful, varied patterns and textures throughout from the rocks in the foreground, to the brush midrange, and the beautiful patterns of snow and rock on the peaks. Love the color as well. Fantastic work.

I'd go a tad less aggressive on sharpening even in the reworked image. But fabulous place and image. You have done a lovely job with exposure.
