I like the comp but it would be much stronger with something of interest in the foreground. I suspect that is something that would be difficult to find up there but keep looking. . .

I find the lighter color of the foreground snow to be enough. If there was something else in the foreground it might take away from the quiet scene. IMHO.

Jim...
I also think this works well the way it is. The snow in the foreground leads the eye into the background nicely. And I like the composition with the ridge line coming in from the left. Good shot!!
I would crop the top portion down to the bright orange, getting rid of the blue sky. Otherwise it is a great shot.

Great shot, Jim. You are a lucky guy to get to spend so much time up there.. I agree with the suggestion to crop out the blue.

I like the overall comp Jim...my eyes get lead nicely along the ridge into the distance. I am not sure about the bright snow in the foreground, I find it a bit distracting. Great colours in the distance and sky.
Winter? Whats that? It was 73 degrees here on Saturday!?!

Jim,
Great shot. I really like the pink sky and mountains in the middle. Agree the the blue sky could be cropped. I also think that it could use a stronger item in the foreground to anchor the shot. Maybe you could have gotten in a little closer to the rock and get some detail in the rime ice. That would be a winner. Very nice as is though.
