Oh wow, this is awesome work. Love all the different tones of blue and the composition is solid with the valleys leading the eye through. I nominate this, for sure!

Nominated! I love the colors and textures. You did a great job post processing the image to bring out a sense of other-worldliness!!

I didn't put any more details as to how the images was taken and processed, as asked in the guidelines, so here's a bit more info on the image. It was taken from the flight-deck of an aircraft enroute to China. The image was processed in CS6 with a large levels adjustment applied using a gradient (less adjustment to the foreground) and then the image was tweaked with Topaz Adjust. Finally in Lightroom I added a grad filter for contrast and saturation towards the horizon and a slight adjustment in exposure .

And thanks for the nominations!

I nominate this photo. I guess taken from an airplane, but just stunning when on your way to the holiday off your dreams. When taken from a mountain......I hold my breath just a little longer....

Well. How could such a view not get a nomination? What an astonishing scene - the mist between the mountains is just gorgeous. Nice colour tones! I nominate this photo!
