About the Image(s)
Salmon Glacier taken north of Stewart, BC, CA. It is Canada's fifth-largest glacier and one of the largest road-accessible glaciers in the world. We had to go through "Hell" to get to "Heaven!" It was captured with my Canon EOS R5, Canon 24-105mm lens, handheld; IOS 400, 24mm, f/16, 1/160 sec.
I did basic edits and cropped it in LR. In PS, I cloned out the rock at the bottom, then added a levels, curves and brightness adjustment. I masked the glacier to emphasize the character and flow of the ice. I finished with a kiss of glow.

You nailed this composition! The leading lines of the two arms of the glacier come out of different corners to form one giant rive of ice leading the eye into the image. Perfect focus and exposure from front to back. Great work. Posted: 10/01/2026 13:54:17
Excellent job--composition, sharpness, and saturation are all right on. Good work Posted: 10/05/2026 22:31:29
Nice capture. My only comment would be to saturate the sky a little more. It looks fairly blue in the original and kind of washed out here. Posted: 10/09/2026 18:15:54
Very well done. The two branches of the glacier meet up and form an arrowhead leading the eye out to infinity. The different width of each branch keeps the composition from appearing too symmetrical. Nice balance between light and shadow. Great final result. Posted: 10/12/2026 14:31:04
Well worth the effort Kaylyn. I like it as it is. Perhaps a cloud in the sky would help. At first glance I thought it was a scene from Death Valley. Posted: 10/15/2026 22:42:41
