This picture really captures the feeling of either a winter foggy morning or an incoming storm. I love the placement of the tree and the feeling of wind it evokes.

Oh wow... very moody image, I can see it framed and on the wall. This is reminiscent of Ansel Adams in my opinion. Great job!

There's obviously a truly beautiful photograph to be made at this location. However, this one is not it, I'm afraid. I think that the tree is an intruder obstructing the grander view behind it. The completely black blob at the bottom-left corner weakens the composition too. As for the exposure, and this is only a matter of personal taste, I would have tried to darken the sky a little bit while still retaining some more detail on the foreground rocks by using a soft egded gradual neutral density filter, or certain exposure blending techniques (I believe it's legal in advanced editing to get multiple frames with different exposure adjustments from a single RAW negative and blend them in editing software).

Fantastic study in B&W. Reminds me of areas in Pacific North West. Very good job!!

This has a nice composition but is flat as a pancake when it comes to tonal range, give it some umph, play with curves and levels, a little.

This was very nicely done - with appropriate use of B/W. Love the tonal range on this picture, great contrast. <7>

This is fantastic. I love the clarity of the tree with the misty mountains in the background. Good job and I wish I was there. 9

I'm reminded of Canon Beach and coming from Astoria, this picture invokes a homesickness like no other. Many a night I've seen the storms on Haystack Rock. 10
