Basin Mountain View larger

I spotted this lone tree the night before I made camp in Buttermilk country. I thought it would

make a good subject, with Basin Mountain as a backdrop, come early morning. A snow fell

that night and as the brief storm broke there was some interesting light. Comments always

welcome

Stunning photograph. Im not sure about the tree fron and center, but it does add something to it.

wonderful shot, but maybe the tree is to much in the center... congratulations beatiful shot

I like this photo, it's interesting.

I thought about tree being offset but this time I wanted to break some rules on composition and see if it worked or not. Panoramics, I feel, lend themselves to parting from tradition in that regard... we are not used to seeing this aspect ratio often. Thanks for feed back

I like the tree, it is the focal point of the image; and in something as broad as this it actually helps start the eye in moving around the composition. Great layers in this too. Wonderful light. This scene reminds me a lot of Mt. Kenya or Kilamanjaro in Africa. That's what's so cool about the eastern Sierra - valley floor deserts to big time peaks, all in a few miles. Nice work, Ron. Cheers!
