Critique Club Review
By using a portrait orientation, as opposed to the more traditional "landscape" orientation, the tree in the foreground has become the center of attention. In this case, litterally. I'm not sure what the silver line is that runs across the picture. A road, a power line? It does distract a small bit, but then unless there was a way to hide it by camera angle you are stuck with it for challenge use. Focus seems a bit soft, at 1/45 second if you were at maximum zoom it could be camera shake.
The overall contrast and color rendition are very good. I really like the mountains in the distance, and the interplay of the clouds and snow. You caught the transition quite well, and the lighting is great for this type of shot. The shadows defining the mountains in the distance, show that this is not one of those high noon shots where everything goes flat. There are some very good elements here. I'd like to see one in landscape orientation from either beyond that tree, or to the right of it. |

| Glad to see I'm not the only one that tells distance like that. Love how the snow covered mountains just disappear into the clouds. You can't tell where one ends and the other starts. Great job. Beautiful composition. Well done. I'll give it an 8 gladly. |

| Nice composition. I like the four distinc layers. I also find the tree adds life to the photo. Good work. Jacko. |

I think you might have been able to find a better crop that would place the tree in a different place than just off center; it's really the focal point, and those beautiful mountains should have been.

| Breathtaking.... I would have like to see less of the tree in the foreground, though, although it does lend itself to emphasizing the distance of the mountains. What a lovely scene! |

| good classic type shot. 2 nits: a little bit soft on the focus.. you might have focused on the distance, rendering the foreground blurry, and the other thing is that tree is centered in the frame. would have been better a bit more to the left. |

THe colors in the background are better then in the forground. Something does appear to be missing.

| THe color of the mountains is super. The mountains in general are captured very well. I'm not real fond of the foreground, especially since it isn't in focus. Overall I think its a pretty good photo still - Inspzil |

| The mountain with the clouds are realy great and are an eye catcher. However, they are too bright to be able to see any details and the various things in front of them (bush, tree, the powerline and the hills) attract the viewers attention, although they shouldn't. It's a little soft too. Still a great piece of nature you captured. |

| I really like the composition of this picture. Nice use of thirds. Too bad the foreground item is the bush and tree. I find they take away from this picture. IMO, I would have just blured the low yellow grass. |

| The trees in the foreground seem a little out of focus, or perhaps a tiny bit of camera shake. |

| I like the skey and mountains but the foreground looks a little blurry, and maybe under-exposed. Nice pic tho. |

| IMO the tree is too central and detracts from the amazing view behind. |

| Color saturation overdone a little. |

| A very pretty scen but the foreground is very blurry and therefore distracting. Nice capture of detail on the snow-covered mountains. |
