Mt. Hood

[Majeed Badizadegan]

Can't wait to return to the Mt. Hood area. What an awesome spectacle of a mountain. This shot was taken right at the end of the day with a just a bit of evening light.

I like the contrast and shading in this photo.

I can't get enough of the mountain.

I was wishing I wasn't late to work the other day. There were clouds and a diffuse sun rising over Mt. Hood the other day that was just spectacular.

Nice composition, beautiful mountain.

Picky as it might seem, I'd clone out that oncoming car so all of my eye could follow that road up to the mountain.

That's not Hwy 35 is it?

Whats your eye doing in the wrong lane?? ;-)

Beautiful pic by the way. Jealous I don't live close.

Very nicely done. Almost Paramount Pictures logo.

Outstanding! CB may have a point with the car and I might even go one step further with the bright rail next to the car, but either way, this is a beautiful image. Very nice.

My eye is always in the wrong lane looking for some idiot who might have a line on my lane...keeps one alive. Still, whatever lane, it is a nice shot...I thought at first after reading your note about the lane, the image had been reversed, but then my sensibilities and not driving in the UK came back to where I needed to be.

Amazing capture and composition, well done.


Agree with the car and some of the other distractions in the foreground. I may not clone them out completely but just burn them a bit to push them out of the image a bit more. The vertical white tree wrappings or whatever they are stand out on the right side as well.

Well done, a pretty bold conception of the mountain that goes well beyond the usual postcard.

I'm with ceeboy on the car, as it stands.

I've seen a couple of other interesting photos recently that place beautiful landscape with a highway, creating a sort of Americana thing (and this example can stand easily with the best of them I have seen) so there's some sort of cosmic confluence going on, or maybe I am just suddenly noticing them. Anyways. Something that has worked well is to be very conscious of the cars, and try to place them well. I think if the car had been closer it might have really added to the shot. A shot from, say, 10 seconds later.

Wow, what a place!

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful suggestions. I've taken them into consideration and applied them to this edit:

Nice! Now do you think you could photoshop in a set of car headlights to break up the foreground a little

I need to get back out there. My weekends are comprised of Sunday and Monday. These last few Sundays have had me out at Portland Int'l Raceway, and Mondays have been rainy...
