Glacier Creek Valley

Termination Dust on the Mountains as winter approaches.

good for a calendar

I usually don't care for landscapes, but WOW!!

What more can you wish - maybe a risen grizzlybear? or a huge moose - but as a landscape this is adorable! Excellent Dave!!

I give you 7/7 -

If I could vote for the most improved photographer in the last six months...you'd get my vote!! Well seen and beautifully captured.

Wow, what a terrifying atmosphere!

Excellent shot!

Beautiful! Excellent sharpnes of fg, good DOF, very dramatic clouds. Very good saturated colors, nice contrast. Not sure, maybe a little bit less sky would be better, just subjective opinion. Nevertheless, great job.

Excellent color and contrast,nice effect!

Who says you cant take great photos in 'Bad' weather?? Great atmosphere well done!

Very beautiful and splendid shot, dave..and..tanks..

Beautifully captured. I love the detail in the FG and the ominous clouds above.

Very nice image, Dave.

For my taste, an excelent landscape composition. Very well done.

The contrast is too low. The highlights (the snowy part of the image) have around 210 RGB values.

 

I used curves to stretch the highlights to 245, more steep in the region that affects the foreground. Unsharp mask, and the result was:

 

 

I disagree with the suggestion about changing the contrast. The change makes the foreground too distracting and lessens the ominous nature of the sky. I'd leave the image as is.

Yes, the contrast is too low if it is to be realistic. No doubt about it. Too much shadow recovery tool as well. Great photo though.
