When you shoot a photograph, you are photographing a cropped down version of the Universe. The question is alway "What do you omit?" In this shot there is the question of what part of the mountain range should I omit? A Moment in Photographic History: Multi-talented Italian Carlo Mollino was born in Torino on May 6, 1905. One of his talents was as a photographer. He made some exquisite (in my opinion) images. - A Photographic Quote of Note: When I photograph, what I'm really doing is seeking answers to things. - - - - - Wynn Bullock
I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism.

The less you crop of that view, the better. :)

I always struggle with what to crop and when to do it. In camera or in Photoshop? I really try to do it in camera 05% of the time. Why waste those expensive pixels, right?
Michael, I love this image. It is remarkable. Are those trees in the foreground full sized or small. If they are full size, they really show the immenseness of the mountain.
Very nice image.

Stunning and beautiful, thats our earth!

Don't omit anything Michael. This picture is superb as is!
6 May 2008 2:56pm
The scale of this is amazing! What to omit? Hmmmm.... maybe a small part off the right?
6 May 2008 4:40pm
I like this full view, don't crop anything!
6 May 2008 6:49pm
You choose to omit your least favorite part of the beauty and capture your favorite part of the beauty. I love those two small trees.

Vast and cold

To crop, or not to crop -- that is the question. Beautiful parallel lines in the stratum, also love the tips of the trees poking out of the snow!
6 May 2008 8:43pm
Beautiful landscape!
6 May 2008 8:54pm
great composition and colour work to keep the snow perfectly white and then the mountain pops out in the background to top it all off - great shot!
6 May 2008 9:26pm
Two little trees in the snow or two big trees in the big snow?
6 May 2008 9:32pm
Stunning mountain view, Michael!! Ok, so sometimes snow is beautiful.. LOL!! I'm guessing those are tips of trees through plowed snow. That almost looks like Castle Mountain? But you didn't go south through Banff did you. Hmm, must be somewhere after the icefields in Jasper.

This is a fantastic picture. Nice work! Although, maybe you can try to get rid of the some of those tree tips, I think the picture would be even more powerful. Nonetheless, still a favourite for me.
