[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yak peak in the Coquihalla is a prominent granite feature that rises above the Coquihalla Toll Hwy. This particular face is popular with rock climbers in the summer for it's good quality granite. There's also a good but steep hiking trail that skirts around to the right and acsends to it's summit around back (a much easier route than via this face).

Hi Tim,
it's good to see that at least some places on earth have snow. What I really like is the contrast between the sunlit mountain and the dark grey/blue sky. Looks freezing! It also looks inviting; winter hiking is one of my favorites.
Thanks for sharing,
Jacob

Hi Tim,
You captured this mountain beautifully, especially with the warm sun light illuminating the peak. Great sharpness and composition. The dark blue sky really helps to bring out the peak.
TFS,

Hello Tim

Another postcard like shot.The lighting is very nice.I like the composition The snow covered trees are fantastic,my only nit is the "eppic photos" i find the font a little too large.perhaps smaller in the corner.The photo is beautiful.TFS

Hi Tim,

Good contrast beteewn the deep blue sky and the mountain. The low clouds gives a nice atmosphere to the scene. The light is nicely captured on the mountain and the row of trees in the FG blends well in the composition. I do agree with "arfer" that the signature "eppic photos" is a little too large.
