Niek,
This is a rather interesting POV, with the rocky upper ridges being highlighted a bit by the sun. The clouds in the sky are a nice addition to the overall composition, and it's good that there was no cloud behind your subject.
Personally I would have cropped out the road and made it more of a landscape photo.

I'm sorry to hear most didn't come out but I like this one. I love the placement of the dead trees in the composition. They draw your eye back down to the bottom of the picture after the mountain has drawn yout eye to the top. They help balance the composition. I love all the wonderful trees and the mountain is a great shape.

Looks like the sort of place I would like to wander around

hello Niek.
You seem to like the mountains! if it is the case, I resemble to you. This one is impressive by its height. It's a pity that one sees an end of road in the foreground.
All the same, beautiful photograph, thank you, Arnaud.

Hello Niek, amazing view and beautiful place, very good PoV and DoF indeed in my opinion.
The road does take a bit of the nature glamour, but not so a big deal.
TFS,
Nelson

Very interesting mountain, Niek. I had to look back to see if I had photographed it, but no. I haven't had much luch with these semi-close-ups of mountains -- I think we're more accustomed to WA landscapes, so I'll be curious to see what kind of response you get. I think the mountain is interesting, and I would have shot it, too. But I agree with BillyGoat about the road. I tried a WS where I gave it a slight rotation before cropping to retain the tree. See what you think.

Hoi Niek,

Een prachtige foto weer. Ik vind bergen altijd erg indrukwekkend, en deze heb je goed weergegeven.
Kleuren zijn mooi, en de positie vanaf waar je deze foto hebt genomen, laat goed zien hoe machtig deze berg is.
Prachtig!

Groetjes, Nel

I just took an image of this same peak from about the same spot. If I ever get caught up I'll post it because it shows the same scene but with fall colors. You have some good saturation here which could be perked up with the Shadows slider in "Highlights and Shadows"

Neik,
One can "see" the meticulas care you take to register
your images.
Often, I want to FAV. them all. You are one of a kind.
Your unique talent has allowed you to discover, create
& register these classic images.
You notes too are highly educative.
Best regards, M.
