Mountains, Lakes and Rivers

I'm posting these pictures to illustrate the effects of global warming on the Columbia ice field, a large glacier in the Canadian Rockies. The first picture was taken by my father in 1979 (with either a Canon AE-1 or Nikon FE and Kodachrome slide film, not sure which). I took the second one this September. You can see the highway in both shots to give you some perspective on the relative size of the glacier and the scope of its retreat over the past 35 years.

Let me share my last lake/mountain attempt. It's my first shot where I tried manual exposure blending using luminosity masks + some light brush touches :

I personally think it's little bit too messy content wise. Please, feel free and share your critique

Seems pretty impressive to my relatively untrained eye. I'd like to see what you started with because the ice seems not quite right but maybe that's just what it looked like in real life??

I like it. The ice skein seems natural enough to me, a light overlay to the water. It may be that the foreground is a bit too prominent and detracts from the mountains which I suppose to be the primary feature. However, having said that, I do like the picture as it is.

Upper Antelope Canyon
Editorial: I have mixed feelings about photographing Upper Antelope Canyon. I chose a photo-specific tour, with a Max 12 of photographers. What really happened, there are about six other Navajo tour companies offering tours of Antelope Canyon, some with photo tours, and others, with regular tourists. When I signed up I thought, great, only 12 max togs, yet, that was so far from the truth it makes politicians look like they are telling the truth. There was over 75 tourists streaming through the canyon. I felt I spent most of my time up against a canyon wall waiting for the masses to get by. When you get to the end of the canyon, you are required to double back, so, while one horde is coming in, another horde is leaving.
I went off-season during a mid-week day.
I don't think I would ever go back during the in-season when the beams of light make there appearance because the in-season visitors increase...think of Disneyland in July.

cid, it may be the degree of saturation associated with the area that's deep blue below where the ice looks swirly that seems a little artificial but don't take anything I say as in any way authoritive. I take it you prefer not to show the original, that's OK. I'm not saying it isn't impressive, cause it is.
