Thanks for any critiques and commentary.

I didn't have any time and the rain there this year was relentless. I need to go back someday!

Shame... I would highly recommend it, it's a beautiful country! Also, it's cheaper than Chile or Peru

This is simply unreal! I'm particularly mesmerized by the pink light surrounding the mountain.

From the thumbnail I thought it was Torres del Paine National Park, in Chile. Not too far off, and just as beautiful Great shot!

La Montana es 'Cerro Torre', el lago es 'Laguna Torre' y el pueblo cerca de aqui es 'El Chalten'. Gracias!

This is absolutely beautiful! It's raw and powerful and Earth at her most spectacular... and peaceful. I'd love to be there, on a boat, just watching the world go by.

I think this must be one of the most breathtaking views I've ever seen.
I'm wondering... were you extremely lucky to catch this shot or did you have to see many sunsets to catch one as splendid or are most sunsets really like that in this place?

I was there for 5 different sunsets and 5 different sunrises over two different trips to get this. The weather in Patagonia is notoriously bad, but when it breaks... it's pure magic!

Yes, it is. This landscape must make every clear sunset or sunrise at least beautiful.

The blue of the glacier is what I really like- Almost like a call and answer from the sunlight above and yet it's the clouds that are blocking the sun that makes the ice look more blue. And if you squint, the chunk of ice on the right reminds me of a Japanese temple..

Excellent shot! Looking at the thumbnail I thought you may have gone with HDR at first.
