The light breaking through the clouds made me think a celestial visitation was occurring.

Large version included,

C&C welcome, and thanks for looking,

The light really brings this pretty scene together beautifully, really like the way it illuminates the yellows, and the peaks and clouds are the finishing touch. Excellent work Morris.

Just a beautiful landscape with all the right elements. My only inclination here was that the yellows might be intensified a little too much, but the more I look at it, the more I think maybe not. BTW - fantastic processing on the clouds.

Very nice! Love the scattered golden aspen and the barren peaks, peeking through those glorious clouds.

Nice one Morris. On my monitor the blues look a bit over saturated, especially the lower part of the left mountain. Great clouds.

Wow, that's some intense colors Morris, yet still very authenic. An absolutely gorgeous scene.

Love the Crystal River Valley! Little do most know, the huge Chair Mountain towers over this scene and is shrouded by all this fantastic cloud cover. Morris, you've captured a nice atmospheric scene here, coupled with the flat light, the colors explode. Personally I would add just a tad of exposure to the foreground Pine trees. I think that would balance out the nice highlights in the clouds.

Gorgeous. Really like how the cloud texture works with the color textures of the autumn trees.
