36 Nov 20 Comment I agree with the others - really nice composition and preferable in B/W. And also, the bright areas act as a distraction. A possible suggestion for those. Before you go to Silver Effex, see if you can darken and saturate the blue in the sky and the also darken the highlights in the river. Then in Silver Effex look for the color sliders and move the blue slider to darken the sky. If you had a solid blue, you can almost make it black in Silver Effex. You might play with the structure sliders too to pick up the contrast - but that is a personal taste. If you like what you have, stay there. Nov 13th
36 Nov 20 Reply I made an error in my sentence. I meant to say I certainly DO NOT object to others opinions. Sorry about that. Nov 13th
36 Nov 20 Comment Just a clarification when I refer to a vignette - for me, an effective vignette is so subtle you do not notice it, but it has an effect of keeping the eye in the image. That is just my personal preference so I certainly object to others opinions about not having one. Nov 10th
36 Nov 20 Comment I was supposed to be in the same location on a small ship in August 2020. Obviously that did not happen. I really like your composition with the curved lines of the glacier leading my eye through the the image, the amount of saturation you added and the texture of the mountains. Post processing looks well done to me. I am surprised you got such a sharp image with apparently good DOF with f4. My only suggestion is to pull out a bit of the shadow detail on the right and maybe add a vignette to darken the area on the right. Nov 6th
36 Nov 20 Comment For me, changing the color temp really made the image. It almost looks like three separate images blended together so it was quite an usual cloud formation. I like the post processing to bring out the texture and formation of the clouds. I might consider cropping down a bit from the top so the image is not 50/50 cirrus and other clouds since the while layer cuts right three the center of the image so I am not sure which set of clouds you want me to focus on.

36 Nov 20 Comment It is a toss up to know whether to enjoy your image or the story behind it the most. I like the composition elements of this image - the triangular (V) shape formed by the rocks on the left and the waterfall on the right, sharpness through out, exposure, choice of shutter speed, etc. The red leaves add to the story of time of year. My only minor suggestion is to bring up the white in the waterfall. Nov 2nd
36 Nov 20 Comment I really like the composition - the diagonal line of the mountains, the s-curve of the snow path and fence line leadingh toward the mountains, complementary clouds, the fence in the foreground to give a sense of place but not so strong as to stop the eye from going into the image. The exposure looks right to me to bring out the whiteness of the snow. Great DOF. If it were my image I might consider bringing up the shadows and contrast in the tree line and mountains, but not by much. Overall well seen and executed.
