Matthews River Majesty

Great scene, and nice comp, Larry! The clarity in the bg really makes this a pleasure to look at, even if it's relatively straight-forward. Blue in the sky seems a tiny bit strong--otherwise looks good.

Larry,
This is simply a gorgeous view on a very clear day. Might be a bit more cohesive if the brush on the left did not obstruct the distant river bank, but I don't know what it looks like back there, to maybe it's a good thing. I know we are always looking for a strong foreground, but I think sometimes (really -- just sometimes) they get in the way. (Wierd personal view.)

Nice light on the peak, although as Stan mentioned - the sky seems a bit strong. Nice comp and perspective. It was well worth your cold feet!

Very pretty scene. I could see cropping a bit of the lower part of the frame to better emphasize the mountains and sky.

This is just lovely Larry. I prefer a crop of about 10% off the bottom, and maybe the right side, if you want to keep the same aspect ratio. The mountains seem a little smudgy - ?compression ?noise reduction

I forgot to mention this was taken with a polarizer to slow down the shutter speed for water action up close.

However, the sky, in higher latitudes is very intense. I remember just looking with my naked eye at the sky, especially contrasted with white clouds, and noting the blue-black color.

This is another reason why the sky perhaps looks overdone.

Thanks for the comments. Will do some crop work and perhaps color intensity.

I wish people posted more images from this region... it looks beautiful. I too could see this with a small crop off the bottom, but this works as presented too. Nice to see something a bit different and well captured.

Great light on the peaks of the mountains :) Great views indeed :) It gives the feel that ypur slowly floating on the river behind the curve of the river closer to the mountains ... Nice image
