Makes me want to be there. Love the clarity of the air. I might darken the reflection just a bit to make it darker than the sky.

Wow, great clarity and colors. I'd be tempted to tighten up the left side and top with a crop( to the lichen boulder in the water. Not much going on in those areas, so keep the eye in the rest of the image. I think it makes the image more impactfull overall.

@Harry,
I see what you mean about the crop and I agree with you. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm enjoying this one... Vibrant colors in the clouds, as well as in the landscape. I agree with the past comments, but this certainly is an eye catching image!

Fantastic color and beautiful reflection Bill! The reflection does look lighter than the sky but I know the jury is always out on why that happens. Maybe the grad or maybe the polarizer. Beautiful scene none-the-less. Only photogs would notice that.

Very nice comp and light. My only thought might be to crop a bit from the left to center the mountain range a bit more.

Bill, the static symmetry of the composition is consistent with this majestic scene for me. I enjoy the glow on the glacier a lot.

My only minor suggestion would be to darken the reflection so that the brightness matches with the sky.
