Sadly not a single one of them were images captured on his own camera, which I thought was the basis of this thread.

Low Tatra mountains in Slovakia.

Excellent image.
Good job of getting the foreground in focus and properly exposed as well as the background.
Note the difference in temperature between the bright snow (5200 degrees Kelvin) and the deep shadows (7500 Kelvin).
If you never noticed, look at your shadow in mid-day strong sun and it will be bluer than the bright sunlit areas.
