Mount Hood rises over eleven thousand feet and is host to twelve glaciers.  It is considered a potentially active volcano located only fifty miles from Portland Oregon.  With the constantly changing weather conditions and light it is probably the most photographed landmark in the north western United States.

This photograph represents the mountain in its full winter dress and most beautiful.   The clouds at the peak appear to be blowing snow off the crest.  I like the way the image is broken up into three distinct bands graduating from bottom to top - dark to light.  The early morning light has given us distinction in the mountain ridges thus adding shape and texture.

I might suggest that the sky does not have much in the way of interest and could be reduced in order to focus our attention on the mountain and thus giving a more proportional balance to the dark trees at the bottom of the frame.  For some reason there appears to be a vertical line in the sky.  It appears to be some imperfection in the processing of this image.
