Valley Of Ten Peaks (Icon Alert)

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted September 13, 20073,418 views20 comments

I am sorry to post an icon image but in terms of selling the image I hope everything looks up to par here. I know this has been done so many times but people like to buy iconic images so I am trying to get the best out of this image that I can.
Thanks for any info or help you can give me

I like the composition a lot, and the light on the forground and distant peaks is amazing! The only thing I would do is take out the small mark in the water to the left of the fg trees, remove the two dust spots in the distant water, and take out the dark part in the trees at the very back of the water. After removing the small distractions I think this image is flawless! Great work!

If you're going to shoot an icon, this is the way to do it!

Care to elaborate a little on the Singh Ray Color Combo filter? I'm not familiar with it.

I'm disgusted in myself that I didn't make it up to Moraine Lake this summer.
This is a really good example of why people like to buy this image. Well done.

The Valley of Ten Peaks requires no apologies. The water looks incredible.

I never get tired of looking at this view. The clouds really put this over the top. Great work!

Certainly one of the best Moraine Lake sunrise's I've seen, and I can tell you I've seen a lottttttttttttt, because I plan to visit the Rockies in the 2008 fall. Thanks for the inspiration.

Oh my God! The blue of the water and the light on the peaks on the right are splendid. Excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor. A most beautiful scene well captured.

I like the square crop alot and the balance of the composition here is lovely. In a perfect world you would be 6 inches higher to get the tip of the tree on the left from merging with the distance shoreline but this is minor - great shot! Darwin
