Great image. The light is sweet and the composition is great. I really like the depth of the image also.

I agree with Richards....
That just may be a perfect image.

Indeed, the center mountain leads one in to the wonderful sea of cloud and light. This is one of the best mountain top/cloud shots I can remember seeing.

This is a 'WOW' image! Honestly, I don't know what to say---everything is lined up so perfectly, and it makes me feel like I am there. I would LOVE to see this printed large!

The image would be something I'd definitely see in Earth Shots... TFS!
