Part of the skyline in my town Tucson, Arizona; taken 12-12-07 (yes, it's snow on the peak). Finger Rock is in the front range of the Santa Catalina Mountains which are the northern boundary of the city, and home of the southern-most ski facility in the US!

I love the clouds against the mountain Rick but personally find the foreground a distraction I'm afraid to say. "In my town" is still a fantastic shot thanks for the link my friend. :d

~ Oooo love this one... That mountain is awesome! I agree with Vlad and also love the sun hitting the cacti, especially the ones against the blue shadow of the mountain. Great shot!

Now why did this score only a 54? I think it deserves far more. Perhaps you could have "selected" the foreground and put a little more color/contrast in it? It's a keeper in my book.

Amazing shot and view! It does deserve more than a 60 I think :-)
