    Thank you , thank you, thank you, Albert for this prestigious award. I feel honored.

    Great shot, well done and congrats!

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thank you sir. Your comment is greatly appreciated. I was rather proud of how this one turned out.

  • David Holmes

    David Holmes

    Great shot love the sky and the scenery is just amazing

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thanks, David. That is what, to me, makes HDR such a magical process … it takes what appear to be dull grey skies in my normal photography and makes them wonderfully dynamic.

  • 3XEternity

    3XEternity

    Beautiful.

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thanks again. Another that turned out better than I expected. HDR sometimes works magic on what are otherwise very dull grey skies in my JPGs.

  • GerryMac

    GerryMac

    outstanding!

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thank you, Gerry.

  • LeighN

    LeighN

    Striking photo Terence, HDR really brings out the clouds and the ruggedness of the mountains, a favourite!

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thanks, Leigh. The way HDR really enhances the detail in clouds, rocks, and wood make it one of the reasons I fell in love with the process.

  • Barbara  Brown

    Barbara Brown

    Majestic! i think one of the most awe inspiring places I’ve ever been!

  • Terence Russell replied

    Me and my wife, as well. We are going to get passports so we can visit Branff on the Canadian side at some future date … and I mean future as we had to drive 3 days just to get to GNP … not stopping to take photos along the way, which was excruciatingly difficult for us both. ;)

    Beautiful scene, and stunning lighting Terence!!!!!!!!!

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thank you, muchly. I had little to do with the lighting … just had a bit of luck. As I have found on more than one occasion, the day and moment is as essential in landscape photography as is the composition. The very next day, I saw this same scene again … blue skies overhead and stark bright light. It was a completely different scene.

  • Panalot

    Panalot

    Fantastic hdr Terence

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thank you John. I am very pleased with this image. The clouds were phenomenal on that day. I got a lot of great hdr shots.

  • Paul Kavsak

    Paul Kavsak

    fantastic Terence! Its an instant favorite!

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thank you, Paul! I am hopeful it sells well! ;)

  • Leslie Hanthorne

    beautiful image…... your hdr work is truly magical.
    Leslie

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thank you, Leslie. I could definitely say the same thing about yours.

  • kevin smith skystudiohawaii

    kevin smith sk...

    Love the light. A lovely composition and well deserving of the award.
    Congratulations.

  • Terence Russell replied

    What? Did I win an award? Does it come with cash? Thanks, Kevin. BTW, you surely are not the same Kevin Smith from Jay and Silent Bob, are you? ;)

  • kevin smith skystudiohawaii

    kevin smith sk...

    That rather portly director stole my name….....I was here first.

  • Terence Russell replied

    Well, I like his work … so guess that is two Kevin Smiths whose work I admire.

  • kevin smith skystudiohawaii

    kevin smith sk...

    Thanks Terence. I like his work also. I would be happy to have just a fraction of his success.
    But then if success goes to one’s waistline our photographic expeditions would be severely hampered, yes?

  • Ken McElroy

    Ken McElroy

    Wow – this HDR creates an almost mythical perspective to one of my favorite places in the world.

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thank you, Ken! I am pleased. I do think you are indeed blessed to live so close to so many phenomenal photographic oppprtunities. My wife and I loved the week we spent in Montana this past 4th of July vacation!

  • Barbara  Brown

    wonderful work. – Dennis

  • Terence Russell replied

    That comment means a lot coming from such a talented artist as yourself! We are kind of neighbors, as I live southwest of FW and you live just north of it. Tiger

  • Nature's Realm

    Nature's Realm

    yea, I have been down to Glen Rose to see the Dino tracks in the riverbed…..awesome place to explore. Looked at your portfolio, wonderful pieces, although I expected to see some of those Dino tracks…..Cheers, Dennis

  • Terence Russell replied

    I have a few, but find that although they are definitely a must see, they are situated such that they really don’t photograph well. The dinos by the store, now, were great subjects.

    Magnificent capture!!

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thanks, Ken. I never dreamed that the short stop I made along the Road to the Sun to to produce this image would be one of the wisest moves I have made thus far in my photographic endeavors.

    Gorgeous!!!!! I hope I get to visit this area some day!!!!!

  • Terence Russell replied

    It was a three day trip for us, so I took as many photos as I could. I told my wife that we would likely get up there again in maybe seven years, because that is the next time the beargrass blooms.

    Thanks! It is definitely a gem of a place! I am pleased I was able to capture just a piece of it to share.

  • Kymie

    Kymie

    Incredible photo, wow what a view :-)

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thanks. Surprisingly, I actually took this one from the road as I was sitting in a long line of cars awaiting the pilot vehicle to lead us along a one lane road where they were repairing a bit of avalanche damage. If you have to sit and await a pilot car for 45 minutes, I guess you could find worse places to do so. ;)

    Woo-Hoo Terence! You won the bloody contest! Congrats – it’s a pleasure to “lose” to you! ; )

    What a stunning image, i want to learn how to do HDR!!!

  • Terence Russell replied

    You take bracketed images, buy Photomatrix Pro (try it for free as long as you want, but you get watermarked results), then practice, practice, practice. The tone curve is the key.

  • Terence Russell replied

    Sorry, forgot to thank you for your kind remark!

    Almost overpowering! This really leaves me staring with my mouth dropped wide open (I know not a pretty sight :D)...The HDR really adds to the awe-factor! Marita

  • Terence Russell replied

    Thanks, Marita. I am starting to believe myself it is overpowering or has some magical effect due to the number of views, comments, and faves. I have to count it as my masterpiece, for now! ;)
