I spent a warm evening on Mt. Hood this week waiting for a star show and got this beforehand.

Wow, Dan, that's a beautiful sky!! The color and drama add so much to the picture. Was this from the Trillium Lake?
I hope the sky clears up a bit for the star! Can't wait to see what you got from the trip!
What a beautiful image Dan the clouds ad a wonderful sense of movement and time to the image and play of light and shadow on the landscape adds depth.

Great cloud with some beautiful colors. I would just crop the bottom with the trees to isolate the mountain. Well done
Exceptional conditions very well captured! I'm amazed you were able to capture the dynamic range of this scene. Without the trees would indeed be nice, but then you would miss the nice colors of the sunlit FG, which balance all those whites and blues, as well as an extra compositional layer in the scene.
An outstanding image Dan. The light play is fantastic. I've seen images of these types of cloud before, but yours takes the cake!
Hi Dan...that is a killer cloud formation over the mountain...I love the D800's ability to capture such dynamic range within an image...as an alternate version to this image you could also create a great pano crop of it!
A really cool shot.
I do wish those trees weren't present at the bottom, that would have taken it up a notch - but understand the constraint from where you were, cropping them out would lose valuable perspective.
