David Leask Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #1 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 During my visit to Glacier NP I wanted to capture my own version of the Wild Goose Island view. I must have visited the tripod hole location about 10 times in the 3 days we were there. The light and weather was so poor for us that the classic view wasn't to be had. The first image below was the best of several I took at various times of the day in various weather conditions. The wind was almost gale force in my face. The other two were taken looking in the other direction on the only afternoon I saw blue skies. 1 2 3 My favourite is #3. What are your thoughts? Nov 03, 2009 at 07:30 PM

redsoxdesign Online Image Upload: On p.1 #2 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 David, I'll go with #2.....brings back some great memories for me (and it was only a month or so ago!). We had hazy weather the day we were there but still a great place to visit...just makes you want to go back, doesn't it?! cheers Andrew Nov 03, 2009 at 08:34 PM

Binh Ly Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #3 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 david, good that you got one clear day, i quite like the little island in the second shot! Nov 03, 2009 at 08:38 PM

mike717 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 I think I'm with you David. I like the wider view of #3. Mike Nov 03, 2009 at 09:14 PM

Henry W Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #5 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 #3 is super. Nov 03, 2009 at 09:20 PM

Tim ONeill Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #6 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 All three are pleasing to me David. I like the light in #3 the most, and might be tempted to crop a bit of that lovely blue sky. Nov 03, 2009 at 09:47 PM

dswiger Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #7 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 David, For me #2 has the edge but the color is nicer in #3. Both are nice images. Dan Nov 03, 2009 at 09:50 PM

hugh Online Image Upload: On p.1 #8 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 Hello David, all three are excellent versions of a beautiful view. Thanks for sharing the trip. hugh Nov 03, 2009 at 10:09 PM

Rob Tillyer Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #9 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 #3 is my favourite, nice composition. Eob Nov 03, 2009 at 10:47 PM

beerguy0 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #10 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 #2 is my favorite, I like the composition. The tiny island lends a sense of scale to the scene. Nov 03, 2009 at 10:50 PM

ScaryFox Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #11 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 2 is my pick as well. The island is great and it is a pleasing composition that makes me wander all through the image. Ute Nov 04, 2009 at 07:16 AM

kschweichhart Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #12 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 I too think that #3 is a very good one, it is so crisp and clear. Karl Nov 04, 2009 at 09:34 AM

jsuro Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #13 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 Great series but the third takes the prize. Great clarity and color in that one. Great work! Jose Nov 04, 2009 at 01:18 PM

Ray Still Online Image Upload: On p.1 #14 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 David Great series here really like your comps in all 3 they relay the feel of such open vastness and an uninhibited feeling, very nice work on all 3 David Ray Still Nov 04, 2009 at 02:26 PM

Zeph Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #15 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 The FG rocks seem a bit blue in the 1st shot and is less interesting because of everyone stops there, myself included. Now 2 and 3 are very cool. I like the wider view of 3. Looking east gives one a whole different take of the area, I might loose the road on the last. Good work, keep um coming!

teked Online Image Upload: Off p.1 #16 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 Hi, David. Well, when it was blue, it was very blue. What deep rich colors. Really like both 2 and 3. Can't make up my mind between those two. Love the clarity and lighting in both. Cheers, Ed Nov 04, 2009 at 06:42 PM

Dpic_arctic Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #17 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 I like #2 the best. Beautiful photos. Nov 04, 2009 at 07:03 PM

parsons Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #18 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 #2 is great, well seen. simon Nov 04, 2009 at 07:30 PM

another_mikey Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #19 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 David, I agree with the consensus - #2 is my fav and it is VERY nice, a real oooo-ahhhh! shot. The exposure and colors are perfect, and I really like the strong diagonal shadows across the base of the mountains as well. Maybe you have identified a new signature view of the island I know exactly what you mean too. We were at Glacier in 2nd week of June, and the weather was spotty at best. While I did get some shots at the park I really liked (off the balcony of our hotel actually ) the famous shot you show in #1 was also weather impaired. My best shot of it is not close to as good as your effort in #1. To make matters worse, the GTTSR was closed, which we knew before we got there, but due to travel constraints, we could not move our dates. Anyway, suffice to say, we plan to go back again when the road is open and hopefully the weather is a little better. Thanks for sharing, and good job! ML Nov 05, 2009 at 06:35 AM

bshamilton Online Image Upload: On p.1 #20 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 More great stuff from you trip, David. Would love to visit that area someday. I'm with the others on the 2nd. Love the compressed depth. Superb image! Barry Nov 06, 2009 at 02:25 PM

C. Glover Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #21 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 I love the slightly distorted reflection in #3, and the fresh snow on the mountains. #1 is excellent too, except that the blue ground is a little bit of a distraction. Could that be toned down? -Craig Nov 06, 2009 at 09:05 PM

Although it's still not my favourite it is better I think. I more relaxed about it anyway David Nov 06, 2009 at 10:41 PM

JimFox Offline Moderator Image Upload: On p.1 #23 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 Hey David, I like #1 alot. Although there is a blue cast in #1, I do really like how it makes that gravel area almost look like water... it really plays with the mind in an intriguing way. #2 is really sweet... Jim Nov 07, 2009 at 12:54 AM

Fo Tollery Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #24 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 Chalk up another vote for #2. A more intimate shot that allows the little island to become an integral part of the composition rather than a bit of a distraction. GREAT shot, that one. The others are nice as well.....just don't have quite the zing of the 2nd. Nov 07, 2009 at 11:31 AM

nugeny Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #25 · Glacier NP Views Pt2 David, all three are great, but nr 2 somehow stands out. Bob Nov 07, 2009 at 06:52 PM
