I was a little disappointed when I got this roll back and found that I

had not gotten what I think (now looking at the picture) would be the

best composition from this scene. It seems like the trees should be

farther to the left. What do you think?

Thanks for the great responses. A few notes: 1) I got an email over the weekend that there was some trouble with about 250 uploaded images, this being one of them. So, to Amy, I appologize, but that complication was out of my hands. 2) I did use a Signh-Ray warming polarizer on this shot - hence the gradient in the sky.

How do you feel about this photo? Is the use of the sun shining

through the tree too much?

I too admire the picture. Great work. The caption is almost necessary in these times. It shows that you are serious about protecting your work. Distracting? Perhaps. But if anyone likes it enough, they could buy a print from you, right?

This photo was taken in the Dry Valleys of

. It was early

in the austral summer season and the sun was low enough in the sky to

be hidden behind mountains at certain times of the day. I think the

photo gets close to what I was going for - that is, diffuse sunlight

emerging from the rough ridge of 1882 (the unoriginal name of that

mountain). To me, the snow in the foreground shadow is a little

distracting, does anyone else feel this way, or am I just being too

critical?
