Mark,
This one of the nicer images I've seen of the "Bells". The light is gorgeous, and the detail is excellent. The dusting of snow adds a lot to the serene mood.
Well done!

Wow Mark, that's spectacular. I've been to the Bells for this shot way too many times and still haven't got these kinds of conditions. Congrats to you. You can officially check the Bells off your list.

Beautiful. The lines moving to the center and back of the image are great as well as the reflection. For me the thing that draws me is the contrast in color between the white from the snow and the yellow aspen.

Bell-a-uetiful! The snow and yellow / pale green colors are stunning. The contrast snow is softly muted...not harsh... this has a tranquil effect enhanced by the water. A complex scene with much to enjoy.

While this is an iconic location that has been shot many times I still love those peaks and will never tire of seeing them. Someday I will need to brave the madness and see them in the fall. As for your image I really like all of the freshly fallen snow as this provides unique conditions and great contrast for the autumn display. I also like that the peaks still loom large in this composition - a wider angle of view just fails to convey the scale and majesty of these peaks.

Congrats on catching this perfect scene Mark! Between the wind, lighting, and weather, this doesn't come around very often.
