landsmith, Thanks so much. I did work with the values a bit to direct the balance. Thanks!

Aussiesrus1, Thanks for commenting, Michael, your thoughts on my work mean a lot to me.

Ohiohawk97, Thanks so much for commenting. Your observations are always so interesting to me. Thanks again.

Humburger, I love that you referred to this as “majestic”. Exactly the feeling I hoped to convey.

Reddyman, thanks so much for your kind words. I worked hard to bring out those aspects you mentioned, such as the crevices and shear drop offs to keep them believable.

Reed Jones, Thanks so much for your comments. Wow, Sargent. Interesting reference since he was so well known for his portraits, but yes I love his landscapes. Thanks so much!

Lucy12, I am so glad you like the clouds across the distant mountains. I was pleased with that look, it’s good to know others like it too.

Thank you all.

Bizzibee, Thanks so much for your comments. I was worried about this one for a bit, it wasn’t up to the level of the others in my opinion, the balance was off and my eye was just stopping. I just tweaked a few of the values to move the eye around and balance the composition until I was happier with it. Several now have responded that this is among the best in my series. Amazing what a few small changes can do. I always appreciate reading your observations. Thanks for your comments.

Skyenorth, thanks for your comments. Yes I have visited this place. My wife and I took a cruise to Alaska. They told us we would be going through Glacier Bay and I thought, “okay.” Then we entered Glacier Bay and I was astounded. It was an uninhabited (no houses, boats, people or signs of human activity for miles), primal, majestic, wilderness of amazing scenery for miles and miles. I took hundreds of photos as we moved along. They got in as far as they could go at a spot where two glaciers were visible and they spun the boat slowly around from one to the other over about half an hour. They kept the sound to a minimum so you could hear the groaning of the ice and occasional cracks echoing through the mountains. We were fortunate enough to cruise Glacier Bay on one of about 12 days a year when the sun was shining in the area. All of the paintings were created from photos I took that day. In this series I am staying as true as I can to the colors of the area, with maybe a bit of warming or cooling for interest. It’s an amazing place. Thanks for your comments!

Dcam, Thanks so much! Means a lot coming from you. Very much appreciated.
