Interested in your comments particularly on composition.

Dan,

I think I'd work this image a bit more to create better contrast between the foreground trees and the background scenery. Right now there is a sort of uniform flatness that doesn't emphasize the lovely fog in the valley.

Thanks I see what you mean and am following your suggestion.

The composition looks pretty good to me. I like the vertical elements and theme going on here. I might look at a more vertical pano by cropping a little (say just inside that conifer on the immediate left side). I thought eliminating that cliff face in the ULC might simplify the image a little more and strengthen the overall balance. Not sure about that though. Maybe even converting this to some form of B&W might look good too. Well seen and captured!
