Thank you all for the good suggestions and advise. Taking all your advise into consideration, I stitched a pano of the scene today, did some cropping and I hope it comes up ok on your screens. To dsmeltz I can only say you are probably right about the overabundance of things in my sight and not being able to consolidate it into a composed photo. That may be why I took so many shots that I could find two for the panorama shot.
Very nice. If I had taken that, I would hang it over my couch!

This photo is of no special place, (other than it is in Denali NP) but something about it caught my eye. my question is, Should I have included more of the Glacial rivers on the outside edges, or would just a different crop work? Even tho I will not be back there for a few years, it will help me the next time I see a similar view.
Really nice image. I would have tried standing a little more to the left when taking the photo and aiming it slightly to the right. I really like the river flow that goes off the image to the right. I would have tried to get this so it parallels the right edge more then curves back toward the center, drawing your eyes to the mountains in the distance.
Just my thoughts, still nice. Especially in download.

If anything, I’m a rule breaker. But I do try to pay attention to the guidelines of photo art.
After stitching the pano, I cropped to bring in more sky and less foreground so that the scene was better balanced per the advice I had gotten. After completing the main leading lines turn at the right edge of the photo, I think that really brought it together.

Yup. When the magician reveals the illusion, it's simple. Nice job!

Well, I have a few to work with as Denali NP is so huge and there are so many vistas to photograph that I did go a bit nutzo and filled a few cf cards with some very nice landscape photos. This is one I wanted to use as a learning experience and I believe I got that. This attachment is SOOC and will be one of my next projects.

I know what you mean now. After seeing what it can look like, it gives me some mental plot points for the next time I am out shooting.
Great solution to the problem of a plethora of subjects.
