Great on so many fronts.

Lovely!

Yes this is quite fine. I grew up in NW Wyoming but have never shot the Tetons except as tourist snaps.

Pun intended?!
I agree. A wonderful moment seen well, captured well and processed well.
Thanks for sharing Slobodan.

Of course!

Nice view Slobodan, well balanced and nice sky, it's probably the jpeg compression but thats a pretty harsh line along the horizon, it would be much more pleasing to the eye with a smoother transition from horizon to sky. It looks a little like too much clarity/sharpening as it has boosted the dark edge of the mountains and lightened where it meets the sky. Only a small thing and not worth worrying about on a more boring photograph but as this is nice it might be worth correcting?

Wonderful, Slobodan, and (as I'd expect) beautifully processed. One quibble: could you perhaps remove the fragment of white cloud in the dark band in the middle of the left side? It distracts.

Very nice, Slobodan. Happily, I can load stuff from Flickr.

... it's probably the jpeg compression but thats a pretty harsh line along the horizon...
You are right, Mat, must is a combination of jpeg compression, sharpening for the web and Flickr's own display algorithm, as there is no such thing on my master LR file:

Jeremy, I try to leave some traces of natural imperfections in my images as a sign of reality. Besides, it is probably more distracting in the displayed size, while, when printed big, it actually contributes to the "naturalness" of the scene, as the eye then goes into details, examines them, and perhaps admires just how unexpected and varied nature can be.

Really moving.
Great composition, great execution.

Would it be churlish if I was to refer you back to point C ;D

Would it be churlish...z
Not churlish at all, just observant. You rightly noticed that I was just messing with our good friend Kirby Krieger. I am sure it did not escape your attention that the image itself is, in fact, titled :)

Ah, I missed that, so quick firing off my rejoinder, my mistake.
Great shot BTW, I particularly like how the water in the foreground looks so silky smooth and shiney, yet still retains lots of detail. Is this effect due to clarity and then NR to smooth things out, or perhaps something else?

Yes, that was a pretty strong Clarity applied, but no noise reduction.
