Description
Llyn Ogwen, North Wales, Snowdonia National Park,
Tryfan is a mountain in the Ogwen Valley, Snowdonia, Wales. It forms part of the Glyderau group, and is one of the most famous and recognisable peaks in Britain, having a classic pointed shape with rugged crags. At 917.5 m (3,010 ft) above sea level it is the fifteenth highest mountain in Wales.
Between the mid-1980s and June 2010, its accepted height was 915 m (3,002 ft). However it was resurveyed using accurate GPS measurements and found to be 2.4 metres (eight feet) higher. Until the 1980s, Ordnance Survey maps gave its height as 917.5 m (3,010 ft), and so the new measurement confirms that the earlier survey was correct.

I love the composition and feel of this piece. I really like the way you grounded it with the rocks in the foreground a lead tyhe eye from the rocks to the river and finally to the sunset.
