Fantastic landscape pictures, No 3 the best one. Little bit of extra contrast on the foreground and some cropping will further elevate the composition

The crispy structural detail on the mountain in the background is exquisite, and this really makes one want to keep looking at this image. Nice!

Hi Scott,

For the first, the flowers on the right distract me, they might work better under the mountain. For the second you could crop out some of the sky. The third is a beauty and the flowers do work below the mountain. The sky is very pretty in the last and adds to the image.

I like them contrails and all, Scott. Reinforces my desire to get up to Canada someday. I had an opportunity to go to Banff, but it fell through. Appreciate all the info that you provided. I definitely plan to put it to use some time soon.


Just wondering why you like the contrails? What do they add to the image in your opinion? I look at these images and see pristine, almost wilderness conditions that Scott has done a great job capturing, but see them ruined by the hand of man.

Nice set of images, but I have to agree with the comments about the contrails. One of my pet hates.

Excellent images Scott, as usual. Views of a place most of us will never see.

Since the topic came up,
I have to agree with Nigel. Unlike some, he is a truth teller, based on his experience. Everyone's threshold is different, but my idea of a landscape photograph, in general, is no hand of man. That's the part that takes skill, patience, and a critical eye. Especially because it gets harder every year. Not that Scott isn't a fine photographer, he proves his skills all the time. I just see either an oversight, or a decision where the beauty of the land trumps the contrails for his presentation.

Overall, still fine images!

Beautiful set Scott. I can smell the fresh air!!!

i'll have to agree about the contrails, I don't care for them but I guess if you don't get another chance at sunrise you get what you can get. There's always next round :P

Nigel Turner: I don't think anyone likes contrails but they are hard to avoid and photoshop out. Usually june is best and September is worst because June 5am before the flights start and September is the middle of sunrise. I was not paying attention her and should either have photshopped them out or not bother to post. I was North of 60degrees several weeks ago waiting for sunrise expecting peace and then suddenly found out I was on the flight path to Anchorage. There is no solution except photoshop and no spot is immune. You now have to take into account the jet schedule. Its hard enough to find perfect light and throw in a jet crossing.


dalite: Glady you like 3. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott


dave.b.smith: Glad you like the set. I will look to photoshop. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott


ckcarr: Glad you like the images. Normally I don't bother when I see contrails but I did not notice to late when they were dispersed. I have not had time to see if they can be removed and whether it is whorthwhile. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott


roguecoolman: Glad you like the views. I will go back soon to avoid the jets Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott


rbn920: Glad you like 2,4, its nice when noone can agree. It either says they are all great or none of them are great Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott
