Really had to dig for this one, but I thought of it immediately for this WC:
A very foreboding dark sky over Lake Louis, yet the white peaks were bathed in light.

The two snow fields certainly stand out strongly here, Sandy.  The big "S" of the lake is a fine leading line.

I really like the texture of the clouds and the bright white snow in this, Sandy.

Fascinating clouds.  The mountain peak is wonderfully framed by the leading lines of the lake, the ridge and those clouds.

The bright patches of snow really stand strong against the dark sky and deep shadows on the rugged mountains . The smooth reflecting water of the lake bring it all together.
