That is so beautiful, thanks for sharing its magnificence. Unfortunaely I live on the opposite side of the Pacific, so I don't think I'll ever see it.

Wow! That looks incredibly beautiful. I've been told that I need to visit Oregon... if only it wasn't on the opposite side of the country! (I'm in south Florida). Washington & Oregon are on my list of places to visit one day and now I know of one of my specific destinations.

It was a 24-105 L, but mounted to a rebel XSI

I'm fairly new to photography, but I always try to shoot in manual mode to force myself to get it right and understand what makes a photo. Hopefully I'll be one of those that can look back after a couple years here and see a difference in my skill level! Focus has been one of those things I can never seem to get right, any advice? Thanks for the comment! I plan to go back there later this summer and try again, it's pretty close to home.

Great view! You sure should kick yourself :), but that's life. What lens did you use? Looking at the (large) full sized image it needs perhaps a little more focus.

the skew and tight crop doesn't work for me...

I like your angle here... but then again, I'm always a sucker for diagonal compositions, haha.
