Okay, I've waffled back and forth on this thing over and over again. This is the last time. This is a little more straightforward and less "artsy" than the other shot I was leaning towards. Of course I'm sure I'll pick the wrong one to enter, no matter what.

I don't really live in a "town" - it's a very rural area outside of Glacier National Park. Since Glacier Park is one of the defining areas of where I live, I decided to take a picture there.

I know you are phtographing the lake, and not especially the mountain, but I think a
bit less foreground, and a little more headroom over the mountain might have made a better-balanced picture. But it would be more conventional, and this is unusual.

there would be some shrinkage factor on this lake..

This is a beautiful shot IMO, I like the foreground ice and how it is diagonal, and the mountain is of course spectacular, the combo for your combination works very nicely. Well done, in my top 5 for this challenge.

Beautiful..nice range of distances from close up to distant. My only problem is the intense blue water seems to start very abruptly around the ice.looks a little unnatural.

I don't see a "village" but this is nice, especially the colors. One small suggestion: move the main hill a little off center. I hope you don't get beaten up in the voting too badly.

Good use of contrast between fore and background

Great scene, the wide angle works also very well, except for the distortion that comes along with it.

Glacier Park in late spring! How gorgeous it is! Love the depth of field, the clarity of the foreground water, the view towards those incredible mountains... this is lovely!

Very nice composition, I like the layering effect of the brown rocks, then gray ice, then blue water, green trees, white snow, gray/brown mountain - blue sky.

The shot makes it seem as though you took it from your feet to your eyes...splendid!

Great low viewpoint - would love an additional point of foreground interest such as a larger pebble jutting out of the water or a piece of driftwood against the rich colours of the pebbles beneath.

Glacier! one of my favorite places. Lovely shot, and cool to see the ice break up. Love it there, lucky you!! Nice postcard shot.

Great pic, fanstastic depth of field. I would have offset the mountain a little bit, it looks kinda weird bang in the middle. 8
