Lots of familiar views in there! Thanks for sharing. The Elks and West Elks are my home turf.

Great shot. Extra points for not turning it into an HDR freakshow.

If you use HDR properly, nobody will know you used it at all. I believe it's there to compensate for the natural dynamic range shortcomings of a camera, not to make everything look like color-vomit, and the original photo this was in reference to is superb. Excellent use of light and the range of light in the photograph.

If that's an imperfect shot, I'd like to see what your perfect shots look like

Very nice shot. Love the light in the clouds and that you contrasted that with the darker and moody foreground. There's enough light in the rocks and water to show the necessary detail without spoiling it so one's eye is drawn to highlights in the cloud. Too much of the hdr treatment would have mushed up this very successful composition.
