Taken in Wyoming at the Grand Teton National Park this shot feels as if you're just a few miles from the base of the mountain and is simply amazing. Don't know whether this was taken through Photoshop or not, but either way the colors are absolutely eye-popping and pull you in. I've always found it hard to tell with certain pictures.
