very well done friend, you use some filters?

 

[lapdog99]

No filters, just LR and HDR Efex 2

 

[freddytto]

The textures of the rock... like cracked oil paint... mesmerizing... lovely...

Excellent detail. What did you use?

Just saw your b&w version. nex 7 & tamron 18-200. The amount of detail the nex7 captures is amazing.

Thanks for the comment. Used NEX-7 with 18-200 Tamron. Post with HDR Efex 2.

I agree, the textures are very nice.

Thanks, but I am not happy with the sky and glow caused by the single HDR. I need to learn how to solve this with my recently acquired Lightroom.

I was wondering about that sky glow too. At first glance it looks like a 'dodge tool' got dragged across the peak outline. Then I thought maybe it was just a freak thin cloud formation. I didn't pick-up that this was HDR...

It's HDR raising the luminosity in the sky to make a transition. HDR settings usually have a slider to control/limit the amount of "glow".

Thanks DB, I'll take a look at the luminosity settings

In Photoshop, I have an "Edge Glow" section with sliders for both Radius and Strength - I usually turn the radius way down.
