Mt. St. Helen from Oregon

First attempt at such a distance using Sony digital. Sadly, I was

without my tripod. We all know what that leaves a photo open for in

terms of sharpness and focus.

Comments and/or scoldings are welcomed!

looks almost impressionistic. I like it, no, maybe, well,

I just can't make up my mind.

I think if the mountain stood out sharper it would look nicer. That's my personal take on it.

Now how do you feel? :-)

Yes, it is currently active and just up the road a piece from the Portland area. Not to worry. It is far enough away that there is little danger.

I hope. :-)

Interesting study in landscape layers. It works, because Mt. St. Helens was covered in snow at the time. An important bonus, when working at the extreme end of your equipment's capabilities (assuming that this is a radical crop from your original image).
