Mount Tom, 1,202 feet (363 m), is a steep, rugged traprock mountain peak on the west bank of the Connecticut River 4.5 miles (7 km) northwest of downtown Holyoke, Massachusetts. The mountain is the southernmost and highest peak of the Mount Tom Range and the highest traprock peak of the 100-mile (160 km) long Metacomet Ridge. A popular outdoor recreation resource, the mountain is known for its continuous line of cliffs and talus slopes visible from the south and west, its dramatic 1,100-foot (340 m) rise over the surrounding Connecticut River Valley, and its rare plant communities and microclimate ecosystems.

Yesss, one rarely sees cloud vistas this good in here anymore.
I give 10 / 10 to the sky, but I would've aimed up. The lake with its tiny ripples is not mirroring anything and is just a kind of boring mass taking up half the photo. Upwards there is the hill, the factory (?) on top of it and the majestic clouds, could've had more of them.
Anyhoo, there is much to like about it as well, so overall 8 out of 10 for this.

Check out the site "Between Truths", read, learn and pass on. The three steps is all you need to remember to get started. =) http://www.freewebs.com/intween/

Such a nice sharp photo, the scene is gorgeous, I would think maybe just put half the amount of water in the photo, and then it'd be just perfect.Very nicely done. Verena

He who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers...

A bit of cropping would help, but it's a beauty none the less. Very well done.

Where we have come from has absolutely no bearing upon where we are capable of going.
