I took this photo on my recent trip to San Juan Mtns. :biggrin: The sun was still pretty high up, but it was setting in the valley, so this is the best light I could have. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Very Nice. I wouldnt mind having this one myself!

I like the light, shadows and clouds. If you did move in closer to emphasize the mine and keep the main mountains in then you would lose the nice clouds you have over the upper left. I probably would have tried to find a way to make it so I wouldnt have any trees covering the mine itself.

I like the photo quite a bit, but I do feel like the mine kind of is lost in the composition.
