ooops - sorry! It was the comment to another picture - my computer (as you know - it's never the user's fault but always the computers) must have mixed it up... oh jeh I'm still laughing! When you see the other picture, you'll know, what I meant!!! About your picture - I'd just like to be there! Reminds me of another place in another part of the world... it's a very good shot... like holiday... For me it's a bit faded... too less colorful?!? Don't know the whole story, so its just a nice shot...
Initial=Stirs emotion because I remember when it blew it's top. Composition=good Clarity (focus, details)=good DOF... A bit soft Exposure=wonder if the blues were saturated, or if the sky was really cyan like that Interesting or Emotive=Emotive to those who know the story. Beautiful landscape otherwise.

reminds me of a vacation i took on corfu, greece a couple of years back. the haziness and look down to the beach is the same.
challenge met -- yes composition / appeal -- ok, i wish there was another subject in the foreground to attract my attention, but i guess then it wouldn't be a photo of mt. st. helens anymore. technical -- fine overall -- 5 gr8photos :)
