This incredible feature doesn't yield easy photographs in the Winter. Here I wanted to convey the shape and depth of the surrounding landscape. I eliminated the sky because I felt it was clearly represented in the light on the distant wall.

I like the composition and all of the elements in the image. I don't know if it was the compression or what, but the image does not have a natural look, at least on my monitor.

This is a wonderful scene but to me, the highlights are too hot and the shadows too pale. I really like the ice fall in the midground and the way it echoes the water falling down the cliff. Great composition.

I too like the overall ccomp and the way you placed the elements in the scene, Tony. I think you need to add some contrast or sat to the LHS of the image; it just looks to washed out IMO. This is definitely worth tweaking a bit.

Thanks for your comments. I will have a go at tweaking the levels on the left hand side.
