The colors on the first one are great!!! I do have an affinity for dramatic colored sunsets/rises.
Great job.

Fantastic stuff, Don. You have found a bono fide style with those big lens landscapes. The light in all of them is just phenomenal. That sky in the first one is unreal!

What Todd said, you're "extras" are 10x more amazing then any of my keepers.

Damn, I wish I had your extras! Great stuff...and that 1st one is to die for!
Posted by Bill Pelzmann on March 31, 2009 at 5:09 PM
All three are great! The light and those clouds in #1 are superb. :toast:

I envy your extras! The first one is incredible, and #2 is pretty killer itself. The third doesn't stand out as much for me, but it's next to some very stiff competitors.

WOW - these are superb. Must have been a VERY good trip if these are the extras!
Posted by Jack Brauer on March 31, 2009 at 6:44 PM
#1 is insanely awesome. I'd consider the trip worth it if only for that one shot! :eek:
Posted by Stan Rose on March 31, 2009 at 7:20 PM
I agree with Jack on the insanity! Great stuff, Don.

You had an extremely productive trip, Don. These are quite the icing on the cake. Congrats.

Beautiful images Don! I really like that first one. Looks like you had a great trip!
Posted by Paul Wegemann on March 31, 2009 at 10:57 PM
Wow! These are all nice, but #1 is over the top. Well done, Don!
Posted by Rod Chandler on March 31, 2009 at 11:04 PM
Don thanks for sharing your pictures from the Alaska trip. They are really outstanding. I love number one from this batch.

I quit, I give up. I can't even come up with words to describe how beautiful these are! Avian Mist. Is my Pick for front Runner!

Dude, you had a killer trip! The color (and bit of glacier glow) is awesome in #1. I've enjoyed your latest work.
