Ed,

Wow, the large view is just outstanding. I love the detail throughout. Amazing how the two different sizes can impact the viewer. The light and shadow play on the rugged peaks is wonderful. Terrific processing as well with natural color, perfect contrast, etc. etc.

Well done with this. I got nuthin' no nits or suggestions.

Real nice, Ed. I agree with Lon's comments. I like that your were able to hold nice detail in the deep shadows, as well as in the snow. The craggy nature of the peaks comes across nicely. Well done!

That really is nice detail in the big version! It might be interesting to try cropping a little bit off the top and dodging just a little bit. The photo seems to be all about the mountain and that horizontal cloud is noticeable without doing much, so shaving a little off might bring the peaks into more prominence.

This shows the immense scale of tthe peaks of the Cathedral Group, which I think is a very fitting name for these peaks given the way that they direct our attention upward. I wonder if this might have more impact in B&W. Just food for thought.
