Mt.Hood Sunset
Here are two photos of Mt.Hood during sunset on Saturday. Just trying to choose - which is a decent one ? I failed to notice the sensor dust which awfully stands out in the larger versions.

Processing - Curves, sharpening, left and top portions cropped.

The second one.

I prefer the glow of the 1st one but I don't think this vantage point is really the best. Most of the mountain is hidden behind the hill.

I like the second composition. A little Photoshop work can probably bring out the glow and lighten up the snow on the trees.

The second one for composition and exposure - looks the best..

I prefer #2 as well..... I missed that tree in #2 :eek:

The second one for me though the light greens in the trees seems a little over processed.

I prefer the first, but I think it could use some PS work. There are a few dust spots that need to be cloned out, and some levels and saturation would help as well.

I liked the first one too , but a lot of PS work is involved. I was so mad to see the dust spots. The PS work has to wait for a while - I'm so swarmed with work - hardly find time to sit and process pictures. Thanks for all the feedback folks.
