Dan:
I love the dots! Sharp, nice angle in the frame.
The backlighting has left some overexposed areas on the back, but you did very well exposing the front side. Were you getting some fill off snow?

From a composition standpoint, I wish there was a bit more room to the right of the frame, just a bit centered for my taste. I would also consider toning down the out of focus areas in the LUC.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comment. There was a large window at my back that was reflecting some light I think. Didn't have any more room to the right for cropping due to branches.
