These are all amazing. I'm not sure there's any other words to say how beautifully you captured these.

Marc, these are just stunning. I love looking at all of them. The last one, "Kingdom of the Wind" is just out of this world. That water texture and light are perfect. I could look at that all day long.

However, what I appreciate most, is your stories that go along with these amazing photographs. It really helps set the scene and helps make me feel like I'm there. The stories also help inspire me to get out there and take some photos and enjoy nature as much as possible.

Thanks for posting these and thanks even more for the commentary.

Thank you all very much. Again, I am humbled by the response to this thread. I am so glad so many of you find these renderings exciting. I love what I shoot dearly and occasionally when I have time for writing I believe that comes through clearly.

What I find neat here is that many of you have taken the time to express which of these five are personal favorites for you, and looking back on these responses, I can not discern that any one of them in particular has garnered more such attention than the others. I don't often pick favorites myself, but in this case I'd definitely say Rise and Kingdom of the Wind are just those. For me, they best encapsulate the energy I found in this marvelous region of the world and showcase its power and beauty. I do somewhat like the others as well ;-) A full selection of my new work (from Patagonia and the Winter/Spring before that) will be posted to my site tomorrow (I hope).

Marc, as everyone else, I admire your talent. All images you posted are superb and very polished, but among them, I do have most and least personal favorites.
My most favorite is #2, I think it's a true masterpiece - everything is in there - light, color, action. Its like Dale TerBush painting, only better.
My least favorite is #5. You called it "Kingdom of the wind", but I just don't get it why so much is going on the bottom while the top looks completely calm.

Tough for the wind to move the mountains, don't you think?

I'm not sure quite what you mean exactly, but obviously there wasn't much spray from the lakes moving through the mountains in the background - it was only on the lake. The mountains and lake came from the same RAW file. I'm not sure what exactly would be blowing or moving around in the peaks, as Carl notes. You will see, however, some lack of clarity/contrast there as a result of the general atmosphere at the time being quite filled with the blowing moisture. During some of the bigger gusts, which were lost to spray completely, the mountains were almost totally obscured by lake water, however. I guess I had to keep one of the shots from a relative 'lull' in the hurricane-force winds, because it was the only way I could get a sharp image out of it!

Marc, I understand that there may be different wind speeds at different layers of atmosphere, so it may be storming on a lake but calm above the mountains - but for the sake of the name, "Kingdom of the Winds", it would be only fair "to make" the clouds to move. Just a thought.

Stunning. I have my reservations made for March 2014. Can't wait. I'm inspired by your work.

I suppose, if you are one to whom cloud motion conveys wind, although it does not necessarily do that for me. Also, in doing so, I would turn the water to a fuzzy blur, eliminating all motion effects on the other end. In addition, I wouldn't have been able to have kept the lens dry long enough for such an attempt. Even if I had though, the result in keeping this water with a motion-blurred sky is a bit too much blending for a lot of eyes out there, as we all know clouds and water move at much different speeds and such a composite might have a looked rather out of place, to photographers at especially.

Absolutely spectacular. So well done. In awe!!

i have to say that I'm amazed at the indirect criticism of these beautiful pictures - perhaps it's because they were posted as a portfolio rather than individually. Mostly though it's because the title doesn't suit the viewer's interpretation - the photo is the issue not the title.
