A magical scene! Perhaps a little too colorful and dreamy for my tastes, but it makes for a beautiful image. I'd definitely lose the border though.

A little less saturation in the reds and yellows, would certainly improve this already stunning scene. Wow!

I completely agree with the others--lose the border and reduce the sat/pp a bit and this will be sweet--although as 'photo art' the heavy processing works also.

Ok, I'm looking this on my laptop crappy screen, but to me the colours are very nice...Only yesterday I witnessed one of those sunsets where the colours where so intense.

The border should go...

I like the mood in this comp Sandy, but I am in agreement with those who suggested a bit less saturation. Just a suggestion of course.

The artsy rendition is quite pleasant. The processing puts a lot of focus on mountain, which is no doubt what you you desired.

Sorry, people - but no "heavy processing" here at all - just a natural, misty Oregon sunset.

Beautiful, dreamy image, Sandy. Love the layers of those ridges and the wonderful colors.

A really strong, beautiful composition. All those hill layers really add depth and interest. Light is exquisite and dreamy! Almost looks Orton-ish.

From Hood!?

I did one wedding up there (when I did such things) and took a quick hand snap out the window of Jefferson and it looks just like this. Nice job.

I too would fine tune it by tightening up the sharpening and reduce the saturation a bit.

So painterly Sandy - a beautiful capture. Great layers of color and I love the dreamy sky. Great work Sandy.

The layering of the mountains and the colors are so beautiful! Very ethereal...
