Very cool.

I really like this. The con-trails from passing jets add an interesting dimension to the water (along with the clouds.) The only change I might make is cropping a little of the less interesting scene off the right side of the frame--maybe just until the tufts of river grass isn't showing, since it's a bit distracting. Otherwise,the water and the ice and mountains are all perfect.

John,
Those expressions speak volumes. Awesome shot.
Eric

Fantastic perspective and sharpness. Good shot! Eric

Wow. That IS a lot of snow!! Looks like mtn. biking is going to come late to MT.
The snow looks good, esp while keeping the sign pretty true to life, exposure-wise.
Eric

Fantastic photo. The horizon line is a little centered for my taste, but it seems to work fairly well here. Nice movement! Excelent.

Great shot and mood. The blue-ness makes me think of night.
Eric

Danny,
I like the starkness.

Danny,
Missoula's a wierd town. I like the shot. the sky really catches my eye, then my eye moves down to the chairs and says, "WTF?" Well, it would if eyes talked...
Anyway, excelent shot and happy new year!
Eric
PS: you might try cropping at or just below the snow to bring out the subject a little.

John,
Fantastic shot! I'm assuming the 40D took care of the noise. I'm impressed. It's not the camera that made this shot, though. Good work, John and Happy New Year!!
