I don't think this small web version does this image justice. A big print of this under good light would be fun to explore. I'm not sure it's possible, but if the top half of that waterfall could be brightened a little without changing the brightness of the nearby sky, I think that would be a nice addition to an already fine image. Good stuff!

Gorgeous colors and light Richard. I also like the composition very much. I guess I might try lightening the trees in the viewer's lower left a little. Other than that - no suggestions. Love the mood.

I almost missed the waterfall I was so focused on the clouds. Waterfalls, mountains, clouds. That's a lot to pack into one frame, and this does it very well.

Couldn't hope for much more dramatic lighting, Richard, and a great composition. The grad filter / blending on the waterfall is a little distracting to me - the part in the sky is darker than the part hitting the rocks.. but probably not too hard to fix, at least, for the most part.

This is incredible, Richard. One of the best Glacier NP photos I've seen. That view looks scary!

The sky is wonderful. Great idea putting the waterfall right into the image which provides a nice balance with the mountains. A fine shot Richard.

Richard, I really like this behind the falls perspective, peering out to the grand mountain landscape. It really puts the waterfall in context. The reflected glow on the rocks is the icing here. Cheers.

Love the light and great color. The variety of color in the clouds really catches my eye. A lot to see here, and you've combined it all very nicely.
