Nice grand scene with some nice layering. Compositionally, would maybe prefer more foreground shadow (to add to the layering) and less sky. Technically, the people in the scene, while adding scale, generally would be cloned out for the Landscape forum.

As mentioned, the presence of humans means I had to move this to the Man and Nature forum. The scale works very nicely. There does seem to be some softness to the image which I think might be due to lack of proper web sharpening.

The foreground shadow appears to me as a bit of a nuisance. I agree with Kah Kit on the sharpening.

The people provide such an appropriate appraisal of scale! Mt. Baker looks pretty naked without all of its snow, but it's a nice summertime look at that massive mountain.

Hi Bob! This is a great image, made much more compelling by the inclusion of the couple taking in the great view.
It's been quite a while since I trekked this area, but I'm fairly certain the mountain in the picture is Mt Shuksan. Mt Baker does not lose quite that much snow in the summer...at least not in the years I photographed it! In any event, this one's not a classic volcanic cone like Baker, and is located adjacent its bigger and more famous cousin...and is commonly misidentified.
Back to the image, I love the layers and "bands" in the picture...really cool effect IMO, and the detail throughout is very impressive. Those are some extreme techs you've listed but they seem to have served you well here.
Thanks for sharing!
