Uh oh, you are going to have the saturation/processing police after you! Take him away, he is creating art! He should not be allowed to do that!
Now having said that, honestly I like the second mellower version and think Cyan could be reduced a hair more (in PS Color mode) in that one to meet my tastes.
Gregg,
I actually like the deep colors on your first version but agree that saturation may be overdone.
It's an incredible image and I really like the way you compose it. My only feedback would be to recover shadow detail from the bottom of the frame (if possible)

Amazing shot - love both versions. Like Fred said, if the shadow details in the foreground can be recovered, you can add more to this already awesome image!

Amazing moment. Keep them coming.
I'm running out of them Mark. I will need to go there again, and again, and again. There is so much beauty down there, it's not even fair.
But I will have something next year.

Thanks Fred. Like I mentioned I did add a lot of saturation to create the striking effect and I succeeded I guess. On 500px I've got over 12000 views and a huge number of likes on Facebook. Funny, not a single person complained about saturation. But I do agree that peaks of mountains are overdone a bit. It's OK, I can always pull it down and reprocess my shots. This is a beauty of digital photography, isn't it?
As far as shadows recovery goes, I'm not sure if there's something there. I'll check it.
Anyway, thank you all for your comments and suggestions... This is a great place to hang around Fred.

I like it! I like to create art with photography and this is a perfect example of that! Yes, it is surreal but that is not a bad thing. If everyone exposed, processed and presented their photos with identical results it would be a very dull world.

This is a fantastic shot Gregg. I like #1 best. Now for the nits; maybe turn the saturation on the mountains down slightly (slightly!!), and bring out a little detail in the bottom shadow if it's there. But either way, I LOVE it.

Great light and image Gregg. I would love to go to Patagonia, but most workshops are booked years in advance and I would rather not go by myself. Thanks for sharing.
