A pleasnt image to behold. I love the encircling sweep of the branches around the frame. An elegant touch. The detail in the conifers is also appreciated. Often these photos are just foreground silhouettes. The idea of lots of sky to express freedom/openess,etc definetely comes across here. Although it may not have been possible I personally would have liked a little more mountain top plus a few more bolder clouds to glide across the heavens. A good nature shot overall.

Jealousy rears it's ugly head, a "1". Just kidding. Great view and just enough light on the branches in the lower half of the picture to seperate it from another ho-hum beautiful landscape shot

Well framed shot of the mountain..the drifting clouds on the right help to balance the picture. I wonder if a tighter crop from the top would make it better? There is a lot of sky showing which diminishes the size of the mountain..just my thoughts.

Center Mt Ranier(?) in the picture and this would greatly improve this shot. Wadda ya mean yould have to stand on a ladder. Hey, ya go to great lenghts to get the great shots. Like I'd know.

I'm jealous of your deck - what a lovely view. The framing of the trees is very good. You could have cropped some of the top of the image perhaps - although I'm not sure I can find a good height to stop at. The trees in the foreground are a little dark, but only a little. Finally, if you plan on making a print I think there are filters which could smooth the sky out a little. Still a great photo though.

Wow I wish I had a view like this from my place. I like how you used the trees to frame the mountain possibly a bit too much woods on the bottom, but still cool effect.8.
