Mountain Ranges in Colour (no aerial shots)

Attn All: A range is a "line" of mountains. Pictures with the most mountains were selected for awards. Multiple lines of mountains scored the best. This photo met the brief better than all others and deserves first place. The varied colors, sharpness, and lack of clouds also make it a winner. Well done, Stephen.

The many peaks of this single range reflected in the placid lake earned this photographer an award. The snow accent adds to the overall scene. I would have processed this scene with more contrast, vibrance, and saturation; but it deserves to be included in the top ten.

There were multiple entries of this famous mountain range. I selected the best one. The reflected peaks, the clouds and fog, and the green belt comprise an attractive image. It is not easy to have still water at this location, so the rule that great photography requires both skill and luck is true. Well done.

This dramatic photo has multiple ranges, striking color, great composition, great sky, and superb sharpness. It makes the viewer wonder where it is located and how the photographer attained this view point. I love the vertical grooves in the mountains and just the right amount of snow to offset the dark areas. Wonderful shot.

This range of mountains is spectacular, but it is only one range. The sunshine and clouds compliment each other. The early snowfall enhances the trees. Composition, lighting, and contrast are excellent. The Dolomite range has unusual formations, which make them very interesting. This is another place that will have to be added to my bucket list.

I love the peaks, the clouds, the sky, the composition, the contrast, and the point of view. I'm trying to imagine the point from which this picture was taken. The photographer was in the right place at the right time with the right equipment, the right skills, and the right luck. Well taken.

This photo was placed in the top ten the first time I saw it. This dreamlike landscape has all the right stuff: Multiple lines of mountains and many peaks. The green foreground adds depth and contrast. The high clouds add pleasing colour, and the haze accentuates the mountain ranges. Beautiful photo. Thanks for sharing.

This serene photo also met the brief for lines of mountains. In this photo, also by Stephen Price, the clouds were used to advantage. The soft, pink sky provides a pastel effect and the haze makes the mountains look dreamy. I have never been to Slovenia, but if I went there, I would look for this view. GR8 photo.

This is a nice mountain range in a winter setting with composition that tells a story. The snowy mountain range is beautiful. The blue sky and the red plants provide just enough contrast. The details are sharp. This makes me yearn for a snowshoe hike in the mountains, and the opportunity will soon be available. Congratulations on your award.
