These are all well done. My favorite is probably the last one. Looks like there's a bit of distortion on the first which detracts a little bit for me. But maybe it's physically that way.
1 and 3 are spectacular, with 1 leading the way. 2 is nice, but the zoom kills the vertical scale of the place for me which 1 and 3 deliver. Great shots.
I went there about 6 years ago, I can't remember if I stayed 1 or 2 nights. it was foggy the entire time. it woulda been awesome to see what you captured.

Zhangyue, Adam,
Thanks very much for your comments. Not hard to get to - you can take a tram to the top and stay at a hotel up there. There are numerous trails and I found this location while scouting the night before. It is maybe a 15 minute walk from the hotel. I lucked out on the conditions as Huangshan can often be socked in.
Dave, thank you very much for the information. Do you remember which hotel you stayed, there are at least three or four hotel at mountain there. My last visit condition is horrible, cloudless. I was thinking about bring this in PM but thought this will benefit many others who visit this thread. Thanks again.

Zhangyue,
I'm sorry I can't help, it's been a while now and I don't recall what exact hotel I stayed at.

The atmosphere is quite nice in the photo, but I'm left wondering if its just really bad air pollution. I'm really liking the first but, are the trees really leaning? or was that a lens thing?
Even with my small nits, three very dramatic shots. Nice job.
Tim,
Thanks for your comments. I lived in Shanghai for 6 years so I know first-hand about China air quality issues. Fortunately the atmospherics at Huangshan are moisture and not air pollution. And yes, the first image has some lens distortion from the 17mm focal length utilized to capture the scene.

Dave, do you have a copy of DXO's Viewpoint? I'm thinking it could get those trees upright in the first shot and you would have a real winner.
