Fantastic shot.
You have really made something out of nothing with the light here.

Lovely shot, very atmospheric. I particularly like the clouds brushing the Cullins.

Stunning shot, know the place well and it's very hard not to make the place look desolate but you've worked wonders. Fantastic.

Excellent image. The detail and tones in the rocks are superb. The moving water looks brilliant and it is all topped by snow capped hills disappearing into moody clouds. I like the composition also with the foreground focal point off to the left and the background one to the right. Top work.

I don't like that yellow border either. It's too bright and overpowering next to the subtle tones of this wonderful image!

There is lots I like about this image but the water effect is the least of it. It has no resemblance to real water in coulour and texture. Other than the falling water it looks a molten slaggy grey mess. For me this is a shame because the rest of the image is excellent.

Absolutely amazing. What more can I say...apart from Stunning. Not often Im lost for words, but I shall try to describe what I feel when viewing this image. Its oozes tranquillity. Theres sharp textured edges balanced with the smooth flowing of water... not forgetting the effect given by the superb lighting which gives this image a sense of 3Dism. It feels as though Im actually there, as if I can smell and touch the surroundings. And boy, am I looking forward to the day when I can produce an image that instil such feelings.

This is a first class landscape. You have managed to combine aerial perspective with a beautifull soft light and perfect rendering of the water and sky. The other thing that makes it stand out is that it is almost monochromatic. This lends it an air of subtle mystery.
