Columbia Gorge - Vista House at Crown Point

A friend suggested I crop or clone out the leafless tree in the lower right corner.

Imagine what that would look like and tell me what you think, please. I do think the

"sticks" at the bottom should come out, too, if I do that.

Very pleasing image! Nicely balanced composition with the etherial background drawing your eyes back there only to be dragged forward to the autumn-colored trees; then again to repeat the same motion. I judge pictures by how long they hold my attention. This is a winner.
