1 and 2 are excellent but very classical. 3 is excellent and very unique. Definitely one of the most original images I have seen this year. Perfect composition.
Excellent shots and kudos on your blog statements about moving away from "pumped up" colors and PS work. I see so much of that going on that photos do not look like real scenes anymore but more like pastel drawings.
Wonderful images Ian. I was out there a few weeks ago as well and unfortunately did not get the late light and clouds like you did. When we were at Comet falls the top was shrouded in fog. I like your rendition.
