33 Sep 21 Reply Thanks so much, Paul, for your comment about my photograph. That means a lot! And, oh my goodness, those are great stories about the photo competition and the poor guy who lost his camera and tripod in those falls!

33 Sep 21 Comment Nice photo! The leading line of the stream, the barren area of scrubland and the lone tree work well together. Sep 12th
33 Sep 21 Comment Awesome photograph! Everything works incredibly well together: the beautiful red color of the alpine roses and the yellow color on the rocks in the foreground, the leading curving line of the road, the gray and white of the glacier that contrasts well with the colors in the foreground, and the fog and clouds at the top of the scene. I also like the story of the photo: life thriving in the foreground right below the harsh world of the glacier. Nicely done! Sep 12th
33 Sep 21 Comment My recommendation is the same as Bob's. Beautiful scene, but there are too many hot spots that make it difficult to appreciate the peaceful beauty there. Sep 12th

33 Sep 21 Comment It's an interesting photograph. I'd recommend cropping out the bottom of the photograph as far as the base of the left gate post to eliminate the bright spots in the grass. That way, the eye is drawn into the scene, rather than to the bright areas. Sep 12th
33 Sep 21 Comment Congratulations on starting a PhD program at UT Arlington! That's fantastic! What is your PhD in?

I understand what you're saying about a majestic sunrise representing what you were feeling at the moment. Your story is wonderful. However, for a photograph to allow most people to appreciate it, certain artistic rules of perception usually need to be followed. The blinding bright spot in the sky will tend to draw the attention first. Then, looking around the image for interesting features, the viewer notices that buildings are blocked by the trees. The objects most visible look like a sign, a trash can and some other similar object. I know that's not what you wanted the POI to be, but that's probably how it would be perceived by most people.
