This is a pano of three shots that I took from a hike through the forest near Juneau. I just love the deep blue colors. Comments are more than welcome

D90, 70-200mm, f/16, 1/160 sec., ISO-800

Nice idea for a pano and I really like the inclusion of the waterfall on the right. Beautiful ice towers!

I always like to see pictures of my backyard here on NPN :wink: . I hope you won't mind if I give a little critique. This photo looks to have been from some hundred feet above the lake (East Glacier Loop Trail?). While this perspective offers a clear view of both the face and top surfaces of the glacier, it also diminishes the perceived size of the vertical ice wall. On the other hand, the time you were there looks to have been offering some of the most impressive heights along this edge of the Mendenhall that I have ever seen. Also, the blue gets too strong for my taste in certain areas. It might only have been contrast boosts that have made it look over-saturated. In the end, I like the format; I like the way the waterfall and glacial face play off each other; and those things make me enjoy looking at the photo, especially the larger version.

The waterfall is a great addition, and the blue color is very nice.

Really like the pano presentation and how you have showcased the variety of blue tones in the ice. Nicely done.
