Milky Way Over Broken Top
I recently captured these two images while backpacking up near Broken Top Mountain in Oregon. Would love to hear which composition people prefer, and also any critiques regarding the images.

YOUNG MALE MALAYAN TIGER
These are a highly endangered species, and the rescue center has this young male tiger, which they hope will breed with their already existing female Malayan tiger.

I like the 2nd one with more sky. I would like to see the snow whiter and a little brighter, it looks yellow on the mountain, but its a very nice location.
Nice job
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!
Yup, definitely the second one. If the Milky Way is your subject it should command the image. I like how the galactic center serms to merge with Broken Top.
I vote for #2, too. The Milky Way is the real star of the show here, not some ordinary, every-day, dirty snow...
Heyyyy... careful. That's Oregon snow yer talkin' about. LOL 🙃
What??? You didn't see the yellow spots on the snow??? BA-HAHAHAHA!!!!
I was probably already desensitized by all the yellow snow in my backyard... dog pee, if you must know. LOL
