I've always liked seeing this view.  The mountains look a little flat like they need a nice dose of contrast.  Lucky you to be in Glacier.  It has been 30 years overdue for me.

Spectacular image, Michael.  Incredible dynamic range of tones; you exposed that Velvia perfectly.  Love the composition with that golden light and cotton clouds and the stunning reflection.  I might try and deepen the shadows a bit but that is a very minor suggestion.  Gorgeous image.  Always glad to see large format work, and your work with 4x5 and 8x10 over the years has always been inspiring.

I agree with the other comments about adding contrast in the mountains.  Otherwise, this is a magnificent image that conveys the grandeur of this scene and invites the viewer to linger.

A beautiful classic landscape. Nice you still have some V50 in your stock. It is getting more and more expensive!!!

A very sweet classic view of this area Michael. I like the choice of using the conifers trees in the foreground to frame this capture. There is some very nice depth here with the mountain peaks starting from the left side as it flows to the right distant side peaks. Some beautiful light here too. I like the idea of adding just a touch of contrast on the mountain side. I really feel like I am here with you in this image.
