Hood From Lolo Pass

I'd like to shoot this scene after a good winter snowstorm. This is the best I've seen Hood look from the west side this fall.

C&C's Please! (besides the slight lean to the right)

Nicely composed but something looks unnatural with the lighting. I'll again say it looks like the S&H tool was a little overused. You are right about this area after a good snow fall. It does make it a little harder to get to the location because of the dummies that go up there in their old 66 Buick Wildcat with no traction devices.

Certainly not a "bad" photo but it isn't wowing to much either, Larry.

The light and color on the mtn are great and the nice sky is an added bonus. I don't find the FG and MG to be interesting enuf to hold my attention, however. Having those trees covered in snow would be a big help and certainly worth the return trip in winter.

Along with what has already been mentioned a decent snow would hide the logging scars.

Larry, I like the mountain and the color in the sky, but I am not really into the FG too much on this one. It does seem like a little too much of the S&H tool was used as Erik noted but I could be wrong.

I did shoot others but only to gain info on how to read the metering capabilities of my camera. This was nothing more than a test of a scene that I want to be prepared for under more favorable conditions.

I gotta say that I agree with Mark and Mark's comments. Plus, I'm seeing some shadow dodging halos around the trees.

I love the choice of foreground and this would be pretty filled with snow
