Hi Jason, it was great meeting you and your freinds last week. Great (iconic) comp, sky and color.. This image is coming across on my monitor as a little dark for my eyes. There is zero shadow detail on the left in the trees and it appears the NPN web compression really did a number on the overall sharpness of the image.

The shadows show much better on your black background on your larger web shot. Nice comp and color.

mmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmm, good. I love the clouds, the peaks, the aspens, and the lake. I do feel the sides are a little dark. I masked the sides out with my hands and found the vertical composition very striking as well.

The subtle light and color are really nice here, I think that a vertical composition would have worked even better, considering the dark sides of the frame in landscape orientation. Nice work!
