How Would You Edit This Landscape Photo?

There have been a lot of great edits of this photo. It's amazing to see different visions of what this photo can be and cool to receive input from people who I am sure are scattered across the globe. Thanks for the great response to this post!

Seeing as everyone else has had a go I thought I'd join in.

The rock formations and natural colours are amazing. Apologies if the scene is not really facing East or West.

I refrained form adding a g**l in a b****i 'cos my previous post regarding the matter got mysteriously deleted ;D

Fun!

Ok, I came in late, so to try something different I cropped to a square format. Why should landscapes be landscape?

Edited in LR4. Cropped to 'thirds on the key peak (left top). Adjusted overall exposure and contrast, used a grad filter to darken the sky and then added some saturation there, used clarity and temperature to make the background distant range 'pop' a little more, added vibrance and clarity but de-saturated the closer mountain range.

Done quickly so some of the 'brushing' is a little rough (just like home - my wife doesn't let me apply the top coat...)

Great idea and responses everyone.

Cheers

John

I really like this crop. Seems like it's what been missing for me in all the ones I've seen. It fills the frame!!
