Gary,
In all the times I've been to Albuquerque and Sandia Crest, I've never seen anything like this view of the tram.

I like the balance between the sunlit rocks at upper left and lower right, and you have pleasing detail in the shadowed foreground. And even though the tram itself is tiny there's no doubt it's your main subject -- bright white, dangling above the mists. Gorgeous light! Very dramatic photo.

Hey Gary,
The tram doesn't work for me......but the rest does. The mist/clouds make a nice curve.........so I might take a bit oof the top to emphasize it even more.

Great, dramatic light and composition. I think this works with and without the tram, each with its own merit. Tram = great story telling image and w/o = downright dramatic landscape image.

The tram gives a great sense of scale for me. Great light too. Wonder how it was to be up there for it. I think a small crop off the top helps.
