Nice comp Dan. The colors are nice. One thing that bothers me is the transition between the land and sky (the brighter area tween the land and sky). Is that fog? I feel like the sky should be a bit brighter too.

Cows... Cool.

I realize that the horizon is a bit dark. I tried it with the sky lighter and I thought it took too much of your attention. I'll try darkining the mountains on the horizon a bit.

That's not fog, it morning haze.

It's beautiful. I love the layers of pastel colors you have captured here.

Great colors and layers. I like this better with a bit of a crop off the top. The cows are a nice touch. :)

Other than maybe cropping a bit of sky this works very well for me. The transition between land and sky looks fine to me and adds another layer of color IMO.

Great image. I like the layered effect and the subtle colors. 5 stops of grad is quite a range of exposure values you had to handle here. Well done!

I think this is stunning. I love the apparent height of the trees and the layers of color. Utah is so beautiful. This captures that nicely IMO.

I probably would take a tiny bit off the top, but other than that I wouldn't touch it. It look great.
