Photographer’s Note
"At 3,754 metres, Aoraki ('the cloud piercer'), or Mount Cook, is the highest mountain in New Zealand, a peak in the Southern Alps range, which runs the length of the West Coast of the South Island. A popular tourist destination, it is also a favourite challenge for mountain climbers. The Tasman Glacier and Hooker Glacier flow down its slopes.
The mountain is in the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. The park was formally declared in 1953, and in combination with Westland National Park is one of the United Nations World Heritage Parks. The park contains more than 140 peaks standing over 2,000 m (6,500 ft) and 72 named glaciers, which cover 40% of the park's 700 km² (173,000 acres)."

Jeff,
This is a very nice shot. I like the flowers in the foreground with the mountains being featured in crisp focus. The colors and lighting are great with a good DOF.
TFS,

I like how you have arranged this picture, with the flowers in the foreground. It's very colourful. Sharpness and contrast levels are just perfect. An extremly beautiful composition.
