This is an excellent shot. I even like the stump and trees in the foreground.

Comment by Beagleboy:
The foreground element (stump, logs and the ridge you were on) make for a too powerful foreground element that sucks the life out of you backgound and major element, Mt. St. Helens. The lack of any middleground element gives the image an overly compressed feel from front to back. A good candidate for a re-shoot. Looks like a pretty desolate area even after 25 years.

Seems like a wonderful giant mountain is squeezed into a small box. Your composition is nice and clean though.

I think if you had moved closer to the stump(?) on the right and used a shorter focal length, this photo would be much more dramatic... it's got potential, but as it is, it's rather static. if you could have made that beam into a line leading the eye toward the mountain from the foreground, I think that would have been interesting to see. still - better than many - 6

Seems like it's a little too equally divided in half, vertically. I might have tried it with a little less sky. Cool vantage point, nonetheless!

I'm not sure how shutter speed helped this. Looks like the speed was slow since the pentagrams are so bright, but they don't look like something that would move.

I'm not sure how "shutter speed leads to the main impact" in this photo.
