 Mount Esja in Iceland is often "toppless" because of the clouds that tend to sit on the top.

Well, your image is a little "cloudy", but apparently that was intended. :} The foreground horizon line is nearly bisecting the photo which IMHO weakens the image. Crop up from the bottom about a half or third of the way in the foreground, and you have a very nice line on the Rule of Thirds! Hope that helps! :)

Beautiful, where is this? My only problemo with this masterpiece is that darn weed of a tree smack dab in the center. That is the only thing that kept me from giving it a sweet sweet 10. sorry...

This screams snapshot to me. Perhaps a bit more cropping using the rule of thirds?

not sure where your toppless is at? I can see the top through the clouds. Nice idea, but maybe needs a push of levels or curves to really make it pop.

Beautiful shot. I might have cropped in a little closer to get rid of some of the foreground. Just my opinion.

really pretty! the blur in the foreground is a little distracting and my eye keeps getting drawn to the tree in the lower left corner /6

Frankly ... a little more punch would help.
There is blur on the left bottom. Focus is all out of whack.

Sorry.
