Taken at the end of a hike that offered lots of ascension and little sleep; you can see how the title makes sense now.

Single exposure with grad filter.

The clouds in the upper right are really something, Trevor! I also like your choice of a vertical format for this - fits the scene really well. I'm not so bothered by the foreground, but you could always crop it back a bit.

Very nice WA shot, Trevor. The splashes of color in sky and refection are great. Also think the way you positioned the reflection of the butte is wonderful, too. It looks like it's attached to the rocks in the water. Love it. I wish the shadow areas weren't quite so dark. I realize the lighting is from behaind the mountains, but still, a little tweak might increase the interest there.

This is a great alpine image - it has the necessary elements - love the sky, the reflection and the deep tones - great job

I love those clouds radiating out from the peak. This is beautiful with great color.
