Beautiful scenery, Zack and well photographed. I am debating wether or not including a hiker on the trail would improve this. Either way, I like it.

This has one of the most powerful wish-you-were-here aspects to it I've ever seen. Absolutely perfect!

I agree with Todd, Zack; that trail is so inviting that I wish I was on it. The scenery around such a peaceful trail really works well. I love how balanced the image feels, without being centered.
Nice job; and good call including the HOM.

Thanks everyone.
Will, i have a shot with a hiker in it, but i don't like it as much; the conditions weren't as good as in this one.

Agree with Todd. This is so inviting looking. The diminishing perspective of the trail almost has me convinved I'm walking it. Too bad there wasn't a little more blue sky over Rainier. You've made me wish I was there; therefore, I think this is a successful photo.

Zack,
This is calendar material! The trail really pulls you into the shot, up to the lone pine, and then onto the mountain! Nice, very nice!

Very nice shot.
I wonder what would have happened if you had gone lower to the ground and made the flowers bigger.

Zack,
Just happened to stop by and saw this. Beautiful shot!
I really like this, but the one thing that bugs me a bit is the tallest tree nearly dead center in the frame. I KNOW how you love panos so I'm wondering if you have another frame or two to add to this. I think that might make it even better. Also, I see at least two nice vertical crop opportunities, i.e. crop to the right side of the tree for a left half image, and to the left side of the tree for a right half image.
