Thanks, I agree the rock may be a bit underexposed and will reprint tonight ten pct lighter to see which I like better.

Really hard to choose here Rick. When I saw the first one, I thought, wow, the best GC from Rick yet, but then I saw the next one.

The first is most notable for the cloud color. The muted canyon is well exposed, but the color of the second has that wow factor, but with less colorful clouds. This is always how I find sunrises, great clouds, great land masses, take your pick. The sun illuminates them in order but seldom all at once.

The 3rd and 4th both have lots of drama with the highlighted cliffs and great clouds.

I go back and forth trying to choose my favorite like a kid in a candy store. They are all great. 4 for 4 here.

When I look at snow it makes my back hurt, remembering last winter when we had our turn for record snow in the Pacific North West.

You capture the fresh beauty, which typically does not last more than the first morning in urban areas.

Did you notice that the 4th is a crop of the 3rd?
 
Thanks for your feedback. In the third image, I used long shutter speeds ~ 30s with polarizer only. I do agree that faster shutter speed could have been used on that one to emphasize the water flowing with less of the silky look. I'll be looking at that in my future work - trying for, say 0.5s to 5s shutter speeds for moving water.

I most of my shooting, I use exposure bracketing so that I can layer the three exposures in photshop to correct highlights and shadows where needed. Colour saturation is given about 40% boost without blowing the colours out. As you can probably gather, I love colour! - which may be too much for some people's tastes. That's cool - the great thing about photography is that it is subjective :-)
 
I like this composition with the snow snaking down this limb. All of the shots have the same lighting (through no fault of yours) and with all of that white, sort of becomes monotonous as a series.

Beautiful capture of the crashing waves & sunrise light. Those homes sort of become a distraction but what can one do about them? Oh well...

This is a perfect exposure. I would be interested in what Ben has to say in light of his post last week about styles of realism.

Awesome vista although the oof flowers distract a tad (not that I am saying this minor flaw would constitute a throw away in my galleries).

LOL, Ben has become a bit circumspect in pushing a style as a result of that post.

But this is very realistic. It is very well done, and makes me feel as if I were there, waiting for the swimmers to leave :-)

I agree with Rick on the OOF flowers. What lens was used? Unless the wind was blowing, keeping them in focus at 35mm or lower on FF would not have been difficult.
