Judges' comments:
Like the color; image has a 3 dimensional look; a more interesting sky would improve the image
Maker's notes:

I returned to this spot two days in a row in hopes of some blue ski. Never happened. Cloudy sky kept the landscape from washing out but struggled to compose the photo. Photo was shot at f/14 to long depth of field requiring an ISO of 800 in order to get shutter speed of 1/160th sec since camera was hand held.
