The clouds and peaks are very impressive, Gard. I would be tempted to crop quite drastically the sky and the dark foreground (and then crop the sides to get the right balance). But I know this sort of thing is very much down to personal preference.

Your picture is only 74K (and your others also seem to be very low resolution). If this is due to compression before posting to TE (rather than your setting when taking the photo), you might look in the Tips/Techniques forum; see, in particular, "getting a picture below 200K ..." by AdrianW.

Gard, I have to agree with AdrianW about cropping.
Shira peak is amazing. We had acclimatization there a week after you had had the shot and we didn't have chance to see the picture you had taken. Great shot!
