Very graphic image Scott, which makes it interesting from the start. The trees in the fg add some stark contrast and interesting shapes to observe. Having said this, I think this image would even work without the trees -just the geometric shapes and lines provided by the landscape. ( I am not suggesting cloning...;- )

Simple but powerful composition. I like the trees, I only wish it were easier to differentiate between the hill and the sky (although that could be due to the poor monitor I'm on)

This is nice, Scott. I like the high-key snow and sky that allow the rocks and trees to be islands of dark.
