Thank you , thank you, thank you, Albert for this prestigious award. I feel honored.
ayham Salameh
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
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
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
outstanding!
Terence Russell replied
Thank you, Gerry.
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
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. ;)
Scott d'Almeida
excellent
Terence Russell replied
Thanks, Scott! Your appreciation for my work is noted and appreciated in return!
Mindy McGregor
Absolutely beautiful !!!!!
Terence Russell replied
I can’t take credit for the beauty, Mindy. I just appreciate God for his work!
lorilee
Sooooo beautiful!!!!!
Terence Russell replied
I can’t take credit for the beauty, Lorilee. I just appreciate God for his work!
Luann wilslef
This is an awesome image! I have not been to this park but maybe someday
Terence Russell replied
Luann, do try to visit before global warming completely melts the glaciers.
Dave Corn
Exceptional Shoot!! Awesome contrasts!!
Well Done!!
Terence Russell replied
Thanks, Dave!
Arrowman
This is superb work !!

Terence Russell replied
Wow, thank you for the great honor Arrowman! Nice graphic!
ccwri
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
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
fantastic Terence! Its an instant favorite!
Terence Russell replied
Thank you, Paul! I am hopeful it sells well! ;)
Rodney Trenchard
Awsome stuff mate…Love the blue in that water
Terence Russell replied
Thanks, Rodney. I appreciate the compliment.
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 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 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 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?
rosiczka
fantastic))
Terence Russell replied
Belatedly, may I say thank you very much!
Patrick Robertson
This is magical great capture and HDR work!
Terence Russell replied
Thank you, Patrick.
LeeLo

Terence Russell replied
I was so very pleased with this image and even more pleased with the acceptance it has been given in RB!
photodivaanna

Terence Russell replied
Thank you. One of my favorites.
SimplyScene
A wonderful scene Terence.
Terence Russell replied
Thanks, it is a magical place!
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
Beautiful image of one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited!
Terence Russell replied
It was a wondrous place to spend three days!
Nature's Realm
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
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.
Stephen Thomas
Great, outstanding landscape picture!
Terence Russell replied
Thank you Stephen. Just kicking myself for not entering it into an HDR Landscape challenge!
louisegreen
Magnificent pic! Congrats on your features.
Terence Russell replied
Thank you, Louise! Did I miss being featured somewhere?

breath taking, just fantastic can’t find the right words, superb shot

Beautiful image!

Your comment brings a big smile to my face. Thanks!!!
Bob Wickham
Stunningly good image. Well done.
Terence Russell replied
Bob, if all my work would get the attention this creation has, I could quit my day job!!!
Ken Thomas
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.
Antanas
amazing view
Terence Russell replied
This is only one of many found in Glacier National Park. It simply abounds with beauty.
Voltaire Carlos
Wonderful Countryside. Great HDR.
Terence Russell replied
Thank you, my friend!
Lois Bryan
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.
Junior Mclean
nice
Terence Russell replied
Thanks, Junior.
HELUA
Very impressive view and work!!
Terence Russell replied
Thank you!
Appel
A beautiful image!!! Wonderful lighting and details!!!
Terence Russell replied
Thank you. You can sometimes find yourself in the right place at the right time, but not as often as the opposite!

Beautifully done. Gorgeous place.
Terence Russell replied
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
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. ;)
Laura Sierra
Woo-Hoo Terence! You won the bloody contest! Congrats – it’s a pleasure to “lose” to you! ; )
Terence Russell replied
Someone has to win. I seem to do pretty good with this image whenever I can find the right challenge. ;)
Dennis Jones -...
Nice HDR work and good camera work…
Glacier is an awesome place….we were there last month…
Terence Russell replied
Thanks! I looked through some of your images and was surprised at how different it looks after just a few months!
rodeorose
Brilliant shot and clever HDR- congratulations on your challenge win!
Terence Russell replied
Thanks! The more I work in HDR, the more I like it and the better I get at it.

A perfect example

Wonderful HDR. Excellent.
Terence Russell replied
Thanks, William. I happened to be in the right place at the right time, I actually do try to do that as often as possible, but have missed the right light many many times.

Tara Turner
stunning!
Terence Russell replied
Thank you, Tara!
Carlos Rodriguez
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!
shadowlee
congrats on your features, on a beautiful picture
Terence Russell replied
Thanks!
Finbarr Reilly

Wow, what a wonderful compliment from such a talented artist as yourself!
Marita Sutherlin
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! ;)
morpheus71
Stunning use of HDR adding to a breathtaking landscape – wow!
Terence Russell replied
And yet, no where near as breathtaking as seeing it in person! Thanks for the very kind comment!
