    What the hell is there to critique, it all looks good!

    Love your first image, the diagonal, corner to corner is a great perspective. my only nics are: give just a bit more room at the top of your highest peak. This is a nice subject for the B/W conversion but the image has a gray cast throughout perhaps it could use levels or curves for more contrast and you might set a white point to start off with to bring up the whites, I think it may add to the drama of this shot

    I'm not a wildlife shooter so not much to say. I thought a square crop might work but I still like what you have best. This lion looks sad or depressed. I like your use of shallow DOF.

    Love your Moraine Lake shot, again good use of the corners, excellent leading line with the logs. no nics.

    the remainder of your images look very nice, nothing negative to say. You strike me as someone who is not a beginner but if you are your a "natural born photographer"

    Hi Doug,

    Thank-you for the complements and suggestions!

    As noted I am not a beginner photographer, I have been shooting for about five years now. What I am looking for is C&C to take my photography to another level. i have really hit a wall trying to sell commercially and therefore question my product.

    Darren,
    It's hard to tell the ultimate quality of the full res image and how they print out, but from what I am seeing any problem you have is with marketing not product.
