THis is a very good job on what is one of my favorite subjects.

Wonderful landscape and reflex effect!...Ciaomau!

Nice landscape!

Nicely done. I like how the mountain is not dead center. And the way the trees frame the edges, good work (or crop). Beautiful photo!!

Thanks all for the kind words!

Lacey, I want to address what you said about liking the fact that the mountain is not centered. It seems that nowadays it is not compositionally correct to center your subject matter, especially for landscapes. I agree with that in a lot of cases.

On the other hand, some subjects are best portrayed centered. This is a crop from the original version which can be found in my portfolio, which is centered. I think that comp works equally well. Sometimes it's great to see the beauty of symmetry, and centering your subject (especially one as powerful as Mt. Rainier) shows that off best, especially in reflection shots. It's akin to a performer taking center stage.

OK, I'm done rambling now!
