Took this shot up by Mt. Baker the weekend before last--after some actual snow fall in this relatively mild winter. C&C welcome.

18mm, f10, 1/320th

Nice B&W treatment on this one! All that's needed is a bunch of us on that peak in the background, boots on skis ready to dive down that piste!!

Thanks for the kind words!

I have two concerns with this photo. 1. the tree on the left hand side that is encroaching over the sky. 2. the lower left hand corner snow is not untouched, meaning, it's had skiers and boarders on it. Any thoughts on these?

Everything looks just fine to me, Jason. Love the b&w processing on this and the wintery mood. The cloud and peak, being so nicely white, really pop out from the rest without losing the nice context of the overall scene.

Jason, this is a terrific shot and the B&W treatment is very good. Regarding your two concerns, the tree could be cloned out as it adds nothing to the image. The left corner snow is dark enough that it doesn't bother me. If you print this you might see the disturbance, so you might want to smooth it out some.
