Beautiful light and interesting clouds. I think the tree, or main subject should have a more prominent location or at least clearance from the mountain. Take with a grain of salt, please :)

Hi Morkel, Beautiful light and well handled technically. A diagonal is usually a strong compositional element but in this case IMO there just isn't enough interest in the image to hold my attention.
Fabs point regarding the sticks clearing the mountain probably would of made them more dominant and more an area of interest...

thanks for the feedback Fabs and Dave...
