Diffused morning light on Smith Rock. Comments?

Nice view and composition.

Beautiful colours - especially sunshine on the mountain and the blue of the sky. Good capture and good composition. The only thing that appears a little negative to me is the foreground bush - it somehow interfers with the landscape. Maybe it should have been smaller, or you could have raised your camera a little bit higher. The landscape down there is very beautiful, with lots of detail, and the bush kind of stands in the way to some extent :)

Rick, this is beautiful shot! I actually think the bush in the foreground is necessary as it is illuminated with the same golden light that strikes Smith Rock and balances top and bottom on the left side. The great depth-of-field really gives this composition some punch, with the river guiding you through. Fine job! Best regards, Chris

I think the bush is neccessary as well, I only think it would work better if it was placed differently.
