Actually it does, a lot, after they walk out of the Mines of Moria... Besides from that, it is an great picture, I really like it. Where in Colorado is Mount Evans, I think I'll visit there someday ;-)
I love pics like this that show more of the foreground, I don't really know why... maybe because thay give more of a feeling that you are there.... I love the color too, that golden-brown with the blue sky and water...
