Very cool, both from a composition and temperature stand point. Mt. Moran really looks majestic towering over the cloud cover. The birds add an interesting touch also. There is quite a bit of empty sky, I'd be tempted to compare it with a version where some of the sky is cropped out (maybe half). devil

Beautiful, Jerry. I would have like a bit more room for the reflection at the bottom if that was possible. I also 2d John's crop suggestion.

Jerry, Now that is a cool blue and I really like the early morning look and mood. The birds add a wonderful touch to this scene in the sky and in the water. I too think John's crop suggestion would work very nice.

Jerry, I'm sure enjoying the overall blueness of this image and yes the flock of geese are a fine addition. I was just here and in spite of all the photogs, I see this as a challenging place to shoot because of all the choices...how much sky, how much reflection, get all of the river on the right or not, where to put Moran, etc. I too agree with the crop suggestion.

I think cropping the sky a bit as John suggested would put more emphasis on the flock of geese. Love the blue, cool feel to this. Excellent image

Very much like the blues and those powerful clouds below the mountains. The geese add the perfect element to your image; one can almost hear their call echoing over the river.

Those are some intense blues and love the fog. What a great bonus. I would concur with the crop suggestions.
