Maybe, but its hard to find it.
Very nice image.
Choice of crop is excelllent: like the rising line of mountain to the right upper corner; just enough treetops in the foreground.
Pretty, subdued scene.
Nitpicking: grayer sky upper left bothers me a bit, I think because my eye keeps getting pulled there, while most of the photo makes me want to sweep across from left to right. Maybe, maybe, just a tad lightening in the corner?

I agree with sbeme. Good job of cropping this image. Nice fog and complementary lines in different plains.

The foreground trees are framed thought that weakens the picture. When I saw it on my pc at work it looked better because it was darker. You could try darkening the foreground trees to reduce the feeling of framing through them.

My new 40d has a sensor cleaning feature, which purportedly vibrates the sensor, shaking off any errant dust particles, whenever you turn the camera on or off. I was dissapointed at first when I noticed, what appeared to be, a dust spot near the top of that stout pine. However, upon closer review, . . . why, yes, it's a bird.

I really expected some one to tell me to clean up my dust spots on this.

Anyway, thanks for your comments. As suggested by Scott and Scott, I have lightened the upper left corner (I agree that I over did the burning in up there), and have darkened the foreground trees (I'm not sure what you meant with the "framing through" Scott), but see what you think of this darker foreground.

Thanks again guys.

Alan. What I meant by framed through is that your frame goes through the tree as opposed to including the whole tree on the bottom. I think that its hard to make a picture look good when you frame through the trees especially when the are close to the foreground. I think the foreground trees could be darker yet.

Alan,

I don't understand how anyone could mistake the golden eagle for a dust spot!
