They look fine to me, Dawn. Just remarking on what images I see you so like to make. No criticism implied. |

I'm traveling (presently in the Haute Pyrenees) with only occasional internet access and that only by cell phone. I have a few minutes, though, so I thought to post a short, if superficial, comment.
There is so much happening here in the sky that I find it almost *too* much. One consequence is that where there is little visual interest, as in the darkest areas of the sky, it assumes a prominence that detracts from the whole (or so I find). I wonder whether you might have done as well to concentrate one one particular area, still letting the sky dominate with all its drama.

As you know, Ed, I'm traveling (presently in the Haute Pyrenees) with only occasional internet access and that only by cell phone. I have a few minutes, though, so I thought to post a short, if superficial, comment.
Very nicely done. I like the color palette. Your processing, as always, results in a very natural looking image. A fitting practice for an image such as this, I think. I would not have known, had you not said so, that you labored over it. Good job.

Just read your narrative. Interesting to learn of your past I. Kansas. I spent my early childhood in southwest Kansas and then ages 10 to 18 in Wichita. I like to joke that the trick was to get out while one still remembered one *wanted* out. |

This is very nice, Paul. Beautifully executed. Wonderful black and white. I'd love to see it printed! |

We seem to have in common at least a love of glaciers. I don't know what it is about them. I especially love it when one finds them seemingly born out of light at the upper limits of the earth where it meets the sky.
Technically, it seems well executed in both the capture and in post -- at least so far as I can make out viewing it on a small screen.
Because I, myself, would wish to tell the story of the glacier as strongly as possible, I might crop in to a portrait orientation. This is a hastily executed attempt using Snapseed on my phone.

It's an appealing image. It seems technically well captured and processed, at least so far as I can tell by looking at it on a small screen.
I'm not sure I agree with you regarding the glow at the right edge. I'd like to concur, but I find my eye is insistently pulled over there, leaving me badly wanting to see more to the right.
You do like your pinks and blues, don't you? You always do a good job with them. |

Hi George, welcome to the group. An impressive image. I apologize, but my comment will have to be a bit superficial, as I'm traveling (presently in the Haute Pyrenees) with only occasional internet access and that only by cell phone.
I particularly like the constrained distribution of hues. I find the tonal distribution to be well balanced, though I am somewhat bothered by the brightness of the snow bank near the left edge.
In my opinion (which I hold in high regard -- wink), this is nicely composed, with leading lines directing my attention up to the sunstar. Doubled/reflected sunstars always seem to be crowd pleasers. Were it my image, I probably would crop up from the bottom so as to not have a line exiting the frame right at the corner.
For myself, though, I feel that the attention-grab of the bright sun (strengthened by the sunstar) actually pulls me away from what offers more to explore (the mountain itself). I find that this is (for me at least) the problem with images that include the sun in this way: one sunstar is pretty much the same as the next and thus cannot hold my interest.
As for the technical aspect of the capture and processing, all seems to have been well and meticulously executed, so far as I can tell, looking at it on a tiny screen. |
