Mount Hood in the setting sun from TDH
Lens: Pentax HD Ltd. 20-40mm f/2.8-4 Camera: Pentax K5IIs Photo Location: Tom, Dick and Harry Mountain, Oregon ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/3s Aperture: F8 

I went for an evening hike up the Tom, Dick and Harry Mountain to capture the magnificent Mount Hood in the setting sun, below is one of my favorite captures from the hike.

great shot, but if I could, I'd calibre the White Balance a little bit on this

Thanks, I've been working on white balance for some time in this one. Which way would you go, colder, warmer?

I was trying to capture the warm light of the setting sun, and in my processing I found it hard to nail the white balance so that the sky/forest/mountain would look just right.

I agree, I'll choose the "main subject" and the others might suffer

I visited your website and I love the photo on the first page, it's award-winning level ^^

Thank you very much
I believe you're thinking about the cover photo? It's one of my favorites, it was taken at Cape Kiwanda near Pacific City, OR - you can find more from there in one of my posts (it was pushed to second page on the blog).
