Good result for your effort. Being from Washington State and having been to your area several times, I really appreciate the beauty that we share across our boundaries. Thanks for the image!

I find this pic interesting. Normally I do not like an out-of-level horizon, but it works here, adding to the angular representations inherent in the image. Great contrasts. Good job!

Nice way the boat silhouettes against the sunset. I also like the bouy in this picture. The atmosphere is very interesting with how it transitions from dark to light.

Clark:
Awesome ruggedness. Glad you didn't center the road, lending to great composition. Nice color saturation.

Excellent job. If fill flash was used, it was used very tastefully. Great composition and exposure. The red rocks almost look alive!

Nevertheless? Are you kidding? This is a great shot. The orange contrasts colorwise very well against the near indigo blue so, not only do you have light contrast, you have a great color contrast. The composition is complete. I like the horizontal snow when compared to the vertical lines of the rock columns (basalt?).

Like this, especially the contrast and the composition is very good. J. R.

Nice image. Great contrast beginning with the white snow and ending with the earthen colors in the foreground. Good balance too. I like the fact that there was very little man-made clutter though the impact of such is evident. That's ok. The world still has it's beauty. J. R.

This one deserves another accolade. The strengths found in this image are, obvously, the mirror-perfect (near-perfect) reflection, the focal point of a pair of brightly colorful tents, and the balance of contrasts - very white clouds, bright mountain, dark shadow of the clouds on the nearest mountain, and sky blue. Another interesting point is, contrary to most scenic photographs, clouds are the most distant objects, but here, they are between the foreground and background, which makes the viewer understand that this is at a high altitude. The composition breaks (at least my) rule of thirds. But what else could you do, the whole scene is beautiful.

Great job. The POV and composition are great. Added benefit is the color achived with the sunrise, plus the bonus of the log echoeing the color in good balance. The horizon is straight, basically a flawless image! J. R.
