Mountain High was photographed at the Natural Bridge Park, in Kentucky, and is a rework of my earlier posted picture, Big Drop.

I have made numerous changes to this picture and hope you like what I have done with it.

John, Your rework is excellent, what a difference with the sky, and the mood of the image. Kudos on such a fine rework.

This really shows how much you have grown as an artist Shads.
You deserve to be on this high point.
I like that you are taking a photography trip.

This would seem impossible to improve your original which I liked a lot, but what you did proves the contrary. I agree fully with our TicK [SOT] in every respect. All your recent works are getting more and more superb each time...

Good rework, John...not just the sky but the glints of light on the trees and strubs really brings a magical feel to the scene.

Wow, gorgeous rework.

I have walked those trails at Natural Bridge Park, in KY while we were living in Louisville KY, where I went to University. Brings back wonderful memories, Thanks John

John - I liked the first version. As Christie notes, it is hard to imagine improvements, yet, you did so. Well done! Thad

Nice addition of clouds and some cloning. Darkening certain areas made it more dramatic John. I approve with your rework.

Oh my! The clouds add so much to the overall mood of the scene, and the lighting on the path is wonderful. An amazing improvement.

Amazing! Perfect entry & you captured the feeling of being isolated from the everyday life. Great choice.

A great rework adding in the sky to this beautiful view. A little work is needed on the horizon line to seamlessly join the two images together. Best of luck in the contest.
