This is another image from Granite Park. Storm clouds built all day over the peaks, and finally cleared towards sunset.

Thanks for comments and suggestions!

Outstanding! I love the hint of color on the rocky cliffs on the left. The reflection in the water is just super. Good job!

Those are some incredible peaks, and I really like your comp here. The colors in the fg and reflection seem to have quite a different color balance than those over the peaks? Maybe it's just me. Either way, still a very nice capture.

Sweet, sweet image. Love how the creek leads you in to the sunlit spire.

Sweet image. The colors and comp are great. One little thing: on my monitor it appears that there's a little bit of green in the white cloud on the right. However, this could totally be a problem with my monitor. Otherwise, awesome image.

That is some very special light. I love the reflection. Is that alpenglow on one of the peaks? It almost feels like a volcano.

Great photo! I love the mixture of primary colors, especially with that swoop of yellow in the foreground.

Beautiful mountain scene Cory. The reflections on the water are more than interesting and makes the image much more dynamic. Superb photo.

The last light kissing the peak is perfect.

Oh wow! Amazing shot.Really like the contrast of tones, that the foreground is really warm while the sky is somewhat cooler. Comp is great as well. Great work.
