Perhaps some sunset lighting would have been better. Otherwise, how

could this be improved? Thanks for your thoughts.

Very nice composition.Good DOF.I like this shot.

Good shot. I would have cropped a little tighter on the right side, the bush hanging there is a bit busy looking but would be near impossible to eliminate from the shot.

Is the horizon line where it should be? Though it looks tilted it's hard to tell in mountainous areas.

I like the way the raking light is picking out the textures in the tree and the buttes and the depth inherent in the composition.

for your comments Aleksandrs - I'm glad you liked the shot.  Gary, Good observations.  I would have liked to isolate the cedar more, but it had some close neighbors.  I'll play with skewing the horizon to see if it looks more natural.  Cheers, Jerry
