"Cataloochee Valley is nestled among some of the most rugged mountains in the southeastern United States. Surrounded by 6000-foot peaks, this isolated valley was the largest and most prosperous settlement in what is now the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Once known for its farms and orchards, today Cataloochee is one of the most picturesque areas of the park."

@Behrooz: I did some color replacement, just to get the tones and colors right. The sun was pretty bright and washed out the image a bit. Then I did some saturation and contrast adjustments. Thanks Behrooz!!
Jen, this is an awesome shot - you've made it great by boosting the colours - just love it!

Very high saturation with a low key makes for much drama and tension. Eye-catching!
