Chicken Rock
I don't know the real name of the mountain here but one of my surfer buds always called it chicken rock.

Anyhow before I start processing the shot just looking for any minor crop suggestions mostly the sky from the left.

5 vertical shot pano from the D70.

Very mystical and somber, Steve!

Steve,

I hate to say it, but this one isn't doing much for me. I think it's one of those captured images where being there makes the difference. The encroaching fog on the right almost makes me feel like there was something obstructing the lens rather than fog, if that makes sense. I just think you have so many more compelling and engaging images.

If I was to suggest a crop, it would be slightly from the left to just about the little notch in the LLC.

Steve, I'm gonna have to agree with everything Lon said. For me the fog on the right is just a bit too dominant and my eye just keep getting pushed up into that corner. I think the crop in from the left that Lon mentioned would help balance things out a bit.

Thanks guys, should of mentioned it's just for a banner with text over most of it. Now I'm thinking cropping the fogged up right side too.
