Got nearly frostbite in a strong wind below freezing. Couldn't stay out too long in those conditions. Batteries kept dying. The color didn't last long anyway.

Beautiful picture of the most beautiful place I have ever been to.
I remember that in The Glacier NP pictures just keep making themselves in the camera. You simply can't stop them! And every one of them is a masterpiece!
What a place!

Overall a good image from a very popular place. Something with the FG color on the foliage does not seem quite right, maybe a tad too much magenta. The upper half looks good.

I still don't have anything I like from this location. Although my wife after working there for a number of years has a few of them. I am sure I will be back next year.

Craig, nice shot of the classic scene. Love the drama in the sky. I do agree with Adrian about the foreground. Try selectively playing with the color there or drop the tone some.

When I was there during the summer, the big wild fires were raging in distant places and it seemed all their smoke was running up the St. Mary valley. Never got a shot I liked. Guess it gives me something to look forward to for next time. Braving the bitter cold was worth the trouble for this shot. Congrats.

Very nice...

The sky is excellent. I made a 10 day trip to Glacier last year and it was the longest stretch anyone could remember with totally blue skies. :biggrin:
