This one is a strange pick for me. It is heavily edited, with the mountains stretched vertically to make them more impressive (the photographer posted his process here, check it out). I usually prefer photos that are more true to reality. But when I was choosing them, this one somehow always stayed in the selection, because - edited or not - it has a great atmosphere and really is striking. So here it is.
There was quite a lot of work on it, because while the above editing was great artistically, technically it was not. There were obvious and ugly edges on the mountains from imprecise cutouts, and some weird banding and colors in the clouds from over-processing.
