Jefferson Meadows Sunset
This location is practically roadside in Jefferson, NH, but is off the tourist loop and doesn't get photographed often. I've wanted to get a shot there for a while, but whenever I was nearby, the clouds covered the peak.

Would love to hear thoughts on this shot, specifically with respect to the trees in the foreground. Also would like to hear preferences between this shot, and this one I posted on ES&S taken a bit left of this scene...

Canon 20D w/sigma 18-200 @18mm
1/4S @ F13
ISO 100
Polarizer
2 Stop Soft GND

I like the composition of both Jim, the moving water in the ES&S version is very nice but I am not sure about the trees. I prefer the open view of the mountain in this one. Both are very nice!

Jim, nice job on both but I prefer the stronger foreground in the ESS version.

Has to be one of the best winter landscape shots of winter in New England I've ever seen, JIm. Great composition. I may have just cropped a little tighter to eliminate the branches intruding on the right. Other than that super.
