jtipton 0 Posted May 25, 2009 The largest peak in North America, Denali (Traditional Native American Name for Mt. McKinley) rises a towering 20,230 ft above sea level. This picture was taken at 70mm from approx. 70 miles away. I was lucky, because of weather, the peak is very elusive. Your thoughts and rating appreciated. Link to comment

steelman 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Awesome photo. My wife and I spent two days at Denali Lodge waiting for a glimpse of Denali, but alas to no avail, only views were a long, long distance from the train and from airplane upon landing at Anchorage. How lucky you are to have gotten this nice vista. Congratulations. Link to comment

soniam 6 Posted May 27, 2009 It is so wonderful to see distant mountians so clearly. Here it takes a wondy day to get a good look at them. Beautiful work. I love the thick green forest along the bottom. Great work. Link to comment

f1_young 0 Posted May 29, 2009 Jim, a truly incredible image. I have never been there, but others have told me of the difficulties of getting a good shot. Stunning. Link to comment
Christal1664882414 0 Posted May 30, 2009 Certainly not to take anything away from your vision or photographic skills, but I guess you know how lucky you were to get this extraordinary shot!!?? Lucky for you! As impressive as this is as a photo, I'm sure it was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful in person. Link to comment
GailAnthonyHarmer 6 Posted May 31, 2009 Jim, I'm quite used to many mountain shots (my brother resides in Canmore outside of Banff-has been there for more that 25 years I guess). While in Canmore and Banff you are surrounded by mountains....not all people find they can live there as they feel a little claustrophobic. The first time I was there, I recall waking up on the living room floor(his wedding.....many house guests)....the sun was shining brilliantly through the window....and then I saw them.....mountains everywhere....the sight brought tears to my eyes.....such beauty. I couldn't imagine going home; while Ontario has it's own kind of beauty....nothing compared to what I experienced during my visit. I find this shot truly beautiful and very majestic. You certainly had a beautiful day when you took this shot. Its very well balanced and I find that while majestic and awe inspiring, there is a serenity I feel when I look at this scene. I'm very impressed by this capture....well done! One day I would very much like to stand in the presence of this beautiful spot. Link to comment
