That's some snow drift Tom. I did wonder if perhaps your whites are a little too subdued here particularly as those higher up the cliff in the same light seem a tad brighter.

Talk about visual mass!! I like the scale in this image as well as the contrast between the rough jagged wall and the smoothly contoured snow. I also like the tonal range and contrast, but could also see brightening the snow just a little perhaps.

It's interesting how important that white patch in the upper center is to the balance of this composition. Crop it out and the whole thing falls apart. I guess it's one of those ying and yang things.
I like this composition very much. More so than the recent grander mountain landscapes. There is a beautiful graphic quality to this. And the rich tones are very satisfying to the eye.

Quite the view of a place that looks difficult to get to. Appears to be an aerial image, but hard to tell. The snow could be whiter.

Striking photo, Tom. Now I guess I'm going to have to get a plane to augment my camera kit.
I agree with others that the snow could be brighter as it seems to be in direct sunlight.

I realize this is a massive wall but in this comp, there is nothing to give it that scale. Makes it all the more intriguing for me. I could see lightening this image to give the snow a bit more sparkle.

That's quite a tower! I agree the snow of the avalanche cones could be a bit brighter. The shadows look great.

This image is framed up beautiful Tom, and I really enjoy the design in the rock wall in the larger view especially, and hoe intimate this grand wall feels. I agree with the other comments about the whites being a bit brighter.
Nice view and thanks for sharing Tom
