Some very nice shots, a few of them are quite striking.

When I first get an impression of an image, I'll know it's an image of merit when I have a visceral reaction. Your last image was one of "Oh hell no"! with the chair lift and the perspective it gives - as if one is soooo high above the tree line - a powerful image. And yes the dark tone adds to the tension and,,, mystery? of the place.

If I may, in your 2nd image, very good size perspective and drama of the scene. A good stand alone, but I couldn't help but notice that if it were cropped to include just a bit of triangularity on the left, just above the clouds ( to emulate the triangle on the bottom right), it would really bring out the size and prominence of the rugged mtn. landscape and drawing the eye's perspective of big and little -- In large part due to the small and noticeable chunk of ice in the bottom left, lending a Huge perspective in the size of this magnificent mtn., and drawing out the dramatic landscape. Up close and personal, and well, intimidating. Humbling??
The small left balances the big right along with the significant tonality variance. Great perspective and reaction to this image.

Your 'ice surfing' is minimalistic and gorgeous. Is it surfing, falling off the edge? Lots to envision here.
I followed the link to your Flickr page: impressive work. Enjoyed the variety and talent of your various approaches and content. Not many photographers have the inherent ability to switch styles.

Thanks for your kind words, mindzye. I’ll look into cropping that second photo more closely. I think you’re right that there’s room to pare it down a bit and result in a stronger composition.
