Greetings ..
When my Bride and I were in Glacier National park a while back we had the unique opportunity to visit the "Goat Haunt" ranger station. It's at the south end of Wateron Lakes park (the Canadian side of Glacier) and you start in Canada and then cross back into the US about half way down the lake. If you wanted to you could hike back into the park from the ranger station but the nearest "road" is 17 miles away. A very isolated area. As to where the name "Goat Haunt" came from - no one could say for sure
Hope you enjoy
Spence

    So serene. I have never been to Glacier so I always enjoy seeing pictures from it. I like your composition, although I would like to see a bit more water at the bottom and less sky. The clouds are overexposed so they don't add anything. IMO the image would have more impact if you cropped it to a panorama, maybe cutting the top down to the top of the mountain on the left. You didn't ask for input, but there's my 2 cents. Regardless, you've captured a beautiful place and I am glad you shared it.

    Lovely setting Spence. I second what Laura said. One way to keep sky from getting hot like this is to invest in grad filter. Bit more of water or suggested crop would definitely be awesome!
    keep em coming!
    Cheers!
