    Great images. I like the first one - gives you a sense of extent of the area - and I like the waterfall as well. A couple of them look like you caught some distant haze. Did you use a haze filter - just curious.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the comments.

    Yes it was a bit nippy at the top. Wind chill of -12

    I didnt use any filters on the camera. It was a bit hazey and about 3/4 of the way up the clouds came in and you could hardly see ten yards in front of you.

    They look good, I bet you could get a little more depth with a little punch to the saturation and contrast in the wide landscape shots and it might lower some of the softness. :thumbsup:

    These look great to me, Wull. Beautiful scenery. I love #5's dramatic light. And the last one makes me feel cold just looking at it.
