[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park is one of my favorites. I was looking over an album I had put together of some of my shots of Glacier this past year and noticed that I had taken two shots of the same area - one in June and one in Sept. So I had to play with a composite here for TN. I wasn't sure whether I prefered a blending or a straight line. Another version is shown as a WS.

The two shots aren't a perfect perspective match because the top one was shot at 17mm, and the bottom at 10mm.

Too bad I never made it back for the late fall scene. Whenever I had a chance to go it was cloudy. So maybe next year.

PP: A contrast adjustment. A bit of sensor dust cloned out. Then stitched together with PhotoStudio.

RP: Although I liked the surreal look of the blended photos, I agree with Evelynn that the straightforward border makes the logic of the shot more apparent. Happy New Year!

That's beautiful, Mike,
I like the view with the different colours and vegetation. Very well done, thanks.
A happy New Year, bye

Hi Mike,

I am flattered that you agree with ME! I do think I like this straightforward approach better. They are both nice shots.

Thank you for all your critiques and support this past year. I wish you lots of great photo opportunities in 2007!

Hi Mike,
I like both season captures very much, I'm sure glad you went with Evelynns' opinion on presentation though.
Have a great 2007, thanks for sharing.

Hi Mike,

Beautiful images of Glacier national park during the summer and fall season, the photos have a very good composition, DOF and nice colors. Thanks for sharing

I like this comparison, I would prefer the fall one because it is by far my favourite season =)! I find that it is difficult to try to get out and take pictures in the fall due to the rain and clouds, but sometimes I go out anyway and get lucky when the sun peaks through the clouds.. but that doesn't always happen a whole lot! Anyways, I like the composition of these two shots as well,
TFS
