Bill, the curves slopes of talus combined with their reflections are nice.  Overall, the white balance seems a little cool/blue to me though.

This is stunningly beautiful, Bill. The best of the series. The wind laid down flat and you got a perfect reflection giving you sharp detail throughout the scene. I like the slightly off symmetry, which still gives the beauty of symmetry yet with a twist. It's primarily a blue image but those slopping yellow and green lines is what makes it for me. Those long sweeping curves. Great job. I can't think of a crop that would improve this.

I really like the patterns of the rock and its reflection in the water. This works really well. I think it would also make a dramatic B&W, taking it just a bit more abstract.

Bill, This is a very beautiful image and I bet it would make a wonderful print. Excellent composition and I love the flowing lines going up the mountains and the reflections. This one is my favorite. Nice work!

I also think I like this the best of your Bow Lake images, Bill. I especially like the graphic angles created by the slopes and reflection.

Hi Bill, now this is the better version - really like the composition here - with the symmetry and flowing lines really working together in the image - Great shot - you can feel how peaceful it must have been. I would like the image to be slightly warmer in general and again, I would tone down the drift to blue from right to left.

Love the sweep of the landscape with its reflections, Bill, out to the R of the frame.  The cool tones and the charcoal textures of the rocks are delightful to my eye.

Outstanding reflection, Bill.  Love the curves of those scree slopes and how they and their reflections engage the eye.  Wonderful graphic appeal to my eye.

Very engaging composition.  Those sweeking slopes are a very nice element.
