This looks more like and impressionistic painting then a photograph. Nice color and interesting comp.

The contrast between the warm sunset and the cold, frosty forest is unsettling. I wonder how this would look in B/W?

Nice color contrast. IMO the FG is a bit OOF(?). Nicely composed image,

Todd, the colors and overall look are a little surreal, or maybe painterly, but I like it. I find this a unique, artistic image. This would make a nice holiday card.

Todd:
Nice contrast in the image. Warm on top 1/3 and blue and cold in the remainder. Beautiful capture. The trees looks a little grainy for 7D/iso400 - is this added pp?

Todd, I like how the vibrant Sun brings a bit of warmth to the otherwise "cold" scene. Repeating layers of trees forming subtle triangles is also something that appeals to me.

Very, very nice. Very painterly and non-photo looking. And I mean that in the most flattering way. I'm going to be the evil spelling police here. Just for your future reference, it's Clingmans Dome, I'm almost sure.

Intriguing and highly original rendering, Todd. I echo Scott's sentiments - it has a look of maybe a book illustration with its unusual and lovely colouring.

Thanks for the comments everybody. Wasn't sure I liked this or not. Other people did so I decided to post it to see what other people thought. Gary, it does look grainy I was trying to figure out why and I think its because I added to much fill light from lightroom. It was a pretty dark seen with the sun behind the mountain. I will have to see what I can do to lessen the graininess. Michael, thanks for the spelling correction. I only heard the name guess I should of looked it up.
