Bear Lake and Hallett
Was walking this week in Rocky when the mist was lifting and shot this handheld. It's just a blue sky shot but I kind of liked it.

D200, F11, 1/80s, 18mm

I kind of like it too. The foreground rocks lead the way up to the mountain nicely. I could do without the dark branch intruding at the top. I find it a little overpowering. It makes me feel like I have to duck my head to look at this image.

There's some great stuff happening in this image with the clouds dipping to timberline. Unfortunately, the branch at the top of the frame is very distracting. My suggestion is to go back and really work the rocks for a strong foreground - at sunrise when the mountain is red.........good luck!

You are right, I shouldn't have tried to frame the pic with the overhead branches. Thanks for the comments,
