Awesome! I love the Longs pano with the earth shadow. And the purple dusk shot with all the foreground.

You're a brave man for heading up there without snowshoes!

That's just SICK! Great stuff, as usual, Kane.

Here's a black and white shot. Does this one work?

Yeah, that b&w image works real well!

Nice images. Like the banner cloud image. That you did this without snowshoes is something else.

Great stuff, Kane! #s 5 and 6 in the series are most to my taste, but all are beautiful. The B&W is interesting. The horizontal dark bands at the very bottom and halway up the frame create a tension with the mountain ridges, I'm not sure I love it, but it's certainly eye-catching.

I really love your 7th image. That pano has wonderful tones and cool color. I enjoyed also reading about the hike and a few of your others. Your trip report to the Loch reminded me of two years ago when I hiked to Mills Lake through some deep snow and got twisted around in those same trees. While I was shooting around the lake one of my daughters decided to pass the time and scoot up a dead tree. She fell. Of course. And broke 3 fingers. That was a fun hike out! But at least we had some snow to keep the swelling down!

Great series! And a great story too. I like them all but #6 (great perspective) and #5 are my two favorites.
