I like the tuft of fog on the left balancing the bright cloud on the right. Not sure about this, but is the bright cloud a little too bright for the rest of the image?

I don't know, Ronald. Here's the unprocessed raw file.

Beautiful. The cloud does not look too bright to me. I enjoy how the lupines mimic the cloud, almost like a reflection. Well seen and captured.

What a beautifully rich and colorful image of a very pleasing scene. The flowers and cloud work as nice counterpointing elements. Nicely done. Chet

Beautiful, quiet scene, with nice lush greens and very natural color in the lupines and sky. The large image is a real treat for the eyes. Wouldn't change a thing in my opinion.

A truly beautiful scene handled expertly. Really sweet colors and processing. Love that spot of fog and the sweep of the clouds. No nits what so ever from me.

The original works best for me Michael. Love that cloud in the sky. The light levels, exposure are also spot on in my mind.

Nicely composed group of elements. Wonderful colors and textures. It feels a bit dark. It seems like it could handle a little more light, possibly dodging out some of the natural highlights in the foliage.

Michael - I like the original post much better. Those clouds can light up like that and it looks very much like an evening I had up there a couple of years ago. The repost looks like it has lost some saturation and contrast. Maybe a dust spot or 2 just above the mnt ridge in the original, and a bunch in the repost.
