I really enjoy all of the images, so we're just talking details here. Of course I like the 2nd version of 3 better; it's closer and larger, and gives more emphasis to the clouds and mist. Just MHO, but I think even in that, the big wave on the bottom could be cropped, since it is not whole, it has shore color underneath and disracts just slightly from the main (and beautiful) subject.
Lovely scenery, and lovely images. Another vote for #3. Revision looks much better. I'll agree with Bart's remarks on the additional crop. The clarity on these is excellent.
David,
More outstanding photographs of a spectacular place.
I prefer the "cropped" version of #3, but mostly because it doesn't show the bench, and I can think of "nature" more easily.
Nice work- all of them.

Thanks all for your very kind words and input. #3 seems to be emerging as the favourite and a few have suggested a crop. Here is another shot I captured and processed without the shore in the foreground. I wasn't sure about it but I offer it here for comparison and critique.
Great set! #2,3 are my favorites but they are all great. If you hurry up north you may still get some snow, it hasn't melted completely for us here in Alaska (Anchorage) however the green's are starting to come out.
Splendid work David. You seem to have seen more of the West than I. I truly admire #3 in the cropped version. Perhaps this summer I'll get up there. Next time you are headed for the Pacific Northwest shoot me a PM.
A very nice set of pictures David, my favorite is the last one you posted (5th). The bench in 3rd distracts me a bit from enjoying the magnificent mountains.
Thanks to all for your very kind words. It was a wonderful few days in Glacier for me and to be able to share my images here is the icing on the cake.
