the skys in all 3 look nice but the main bulk of the picture looks a bit dull.

I hope you went up in one of those sea planes... they're very cool

I personally like the 2nd one there although a little play with levels and maybe a tad more contrast would bring it alive

 

[simonkit]

Thanks everyone for the comments - to be honest I haven't really done much with these, straightforward RAW conversion - I agree that the 2nd shot could do with a little more work

Matt - we were lucky enough to do the Alaska cruise from Vancouver & had a go in a seaplane then, flew over Glacier Bay which was simply awesome !!

I think that that 1st shot could be excellent with the correct post processing, looks like an brilliant scene, very nicely taken
All of your shots look dark though, were you exposing for the sky?

Bring back some great memories, I was over there 7 yrs ago for a 3 wk holiday. We took one of these seaplanes down to Vancouver Island.
Nice pics, Hope you took a trip up Grouse Mountain, views from the top are fantastic.

Following the comments I've reworked the 1st shot, hopefully its an improvement ?
