We seem to be on a Rocky Mountain NP kick here recently. I just acquired Adobe Lightroom and spent the better part of the weekend trying to familiarize myself with it. Here is one of the first images I've processed with it. This is the creek (Glacier Creek??) that Bear Lake road follows. This spot is just before you get to the Glacier Basin campground turnoff.

Nikon D200, 28-105mm lens, circular polarizer, 1 sec @ f11, ISO 100

Very nice comp Doug. Very balanced. I might suggest some added luminance to the greens.

Is that your car in the upper right? :wink:

This is a very nice composition Doug. I like the speed and movement of the water and the trunks in the forest. In my unskilled opinion, I think you could brighten up the water, increase the contrast, and also the sharpening. You may even want to consider cropping some of the right hand side to hide some of the bright green grass. I do like the image though and know exactly where you shot it from.

I love the way this leads one into the bg, nice shot! I agree about brightening things up a bit, especially the ulhc.

Nice image. Another vote for brightening things up a bit.

Nice shot. Like the soft light and the motion of the water.
