i captured this one a few weeks back on a way too short visit to the

Lake O'hara region of Yoho National Park, BC, Canada. the weather was

gloomy with scattered showers giving us little hope for anything at

sunset. but having made the trip there we figured we'd head out

anyways. i did manage to get in position just in time to capture this

slice of light that lasted less than a minute. all thoughts, comments

and critiques are greatly appreciated. thanks for viewing!!

simply stunning!  excellent control of all the variables.  the overall coolness of the image is balanced perfectly by just enough color.  stunning.

i know it's a central comp and all, but with such a flat horizon

otherwise, i thought it worked best. would love to hear thoughts and

comments on this one. thanks!!!

great shot.  great story.  it's why we do what we do.  crazy reddish color in those aspen.  do you see that a lot down there?  i've never seen a stand like that up here in Alberta.  good stuff Mark!

love it.  moody and beautiful!

i'd really love to hear what folks think of this one. love it? or leave it?

thanks in advance! i really appreciate all thoughts, comments and

constructive criticisms. cheers!!

i was very happy to have a chance to finally visit this Columbia Gorge

classic waterfall. thanks for viewing!!

after years of wishing to visit this place, i had the chance this July

as part of our epic honeymoon roadtrip. at Shi Shi we were given near

tropical like weather, without any of the tempestuous, dramatic

weather this place often attracts. with little in the way of clouds

around, there wasn't to be much color but i still loved this spot.

this is one of my favs. PLEASE VIEW LARGE. all thoughts and comments

are greatly appreciated!!

wonderfully tranquil shot.  love the contrast between the smooth water surface and the sharp silhouetted trees.  the gradation in the sky is beautiful.  stronger color in the water would probably add just a bit, but i really quite like this the way it is.  beautiful!!

another shot from an incredible evening at Rialto beach on

Washington's awesome Olympic coast. thanks for viewing!!

the last colors of dusk from a memorable evening at Washington's

Rialto beach. thanks for viewing!!

i loved this spot. pretty awesome. all thoughts, comments and

critiques are greatly appreciated. thanks!!!

recently back from a most incredible time with my new wife on our

honeymoon. we traveled down much of the west coast from NW Washington

to S Oregon and on to San Fransisco. this shot was from a memorable

evening at Rialto Beach. thanks to all for comments, critiques or

simply for viewing.

simple, beautiful, elegant. when done right, it looks easy. i love everything about this!!

possibly the most artistic and well done snowman photo i've ever seen. and just a note to Mark and others, based on the snow drifting at the base of the snowman and the fresh snow plastered to its body, i suspect that the 'steam' is, in fact, blowing, howling snow. to put it mildly, i'm guessing it wasn't very warm when this pic was taken. great shot!!!

awoke to a cloudy morning in Jasper this past weekend. made my way

to the pre-selected 'sunrise shot' spot and waited. it wasn't long before i

realized there wasn't gonna be anything in the way of an actual sunrise

so i began looking for alternative comps that would play on the cold,

gloomy morning that it was. curious to hear your thoughts, comments

and critiques on this one. thanks for viewing!!

i love the perspective, but think this would benefit from some increased contrast and a bit more brightness. regardless, this is one heck of a scene!

i love misty wetland shots and i think you've nailed this one. great work!!

wow! what a view and what a photo. i'm curious to know if this vantage point is accessible by trail or if this is a climbing shot?? i plan on visiting this area in 2011. thanks and great shot!!

taken over a year ago on a backpacking trip into Jasper's Tonquin

Valley. the morning began very misty (and cold) and it was only after

waiting for over an hour that the mist began to clear, slowly revealing the

mighty Ramparts across the lake. all thoughts, comments and

constructive criticisms are greatly appreciated. thanks for viewing!

iceland is a cool country. and this is a cool photo.

a minute before this it was sunny and clear, a minute later the fog had

totally obscurred the sun. talk about rapidly changing conditions! all

thoughts, comments and constructive criticisms are greatly

appreciated. cheers!

taken during an evening outing to Elk Island National Park. this was

just before a heavy bank of fog rolled in, obscuring much of the

color. i was standing shin deep in muck, it was cold, calm and dead

quite except for the sounds of a very large bison grazing nearby. a

really neat feeling.

taken about an hour after the sun dropped below the horizon, this is a

20 or 30 second exposure taken along the Athabasca River. curious to

hear your thoughts. thanks for stopping by!

i love this type of pic! nothing but the grandeur of the mountains. good work!!
