Spring Climbs the Mountain

I'm troubled by the tree in the farthest left foreground. Should I have

included more of it, tried harder to get it in better focus, or simply cropped

it out? All comments welcome.

Nice landscape Tom. You might try cropping it out but it didnt distract me when I viewed it.    AJ

I would have worked very hard to avoid it in the beginning.  Was it simply not possible, or is this more of an accident?  Otherwise I think your composition is good.

Thank you for your comments.  I maybe could have been able to get a better composition by selecting a better spot along the shoreline to shoot from.  I was hiking with a group, though, and couldn't afford to take too much time to fine-tune the photos.

Thanks again,  Tom
