Wow! Wonderful colors, layers, and composition. The eye travels around and soaks up the detail. Very nice image.

Captivating, and just the right amount of orange sky to make this look like another planet.

Excellent layering, textures and mood, Jared. On top of that the composition rocks as well. Great shot.

Wonderful, the warm colors of the painted hills and the cool blue tones in the bg really compliment each other. Beautiful layers.

I really like the comp and layers here Jared. I am thrown off a bit by the exposure here though. If the sun is setting behind the distant mountains, I would expect the east faces to be in shadow? This makes the blend on the tops of the distant peaks (darker) more suspicious and makes this feel a little unnatural to me. Maybe a darker exposure for the FG?

This is certainly a beautiful place and the colors look great here. Very nice work indeed. I am not sure on the back mountains though. Seems almost like a grad line just below the peaks. I might play around with darkening or lightening that area to see how that looks to blend that more. Just a thought.

Terrific collection of colors and layers. The pastel orange sky is the icing.

I love the the layers leading to the point, great color and texture. My only suggestion is to add a little more contrast to the area in the background. Beautiful image.
