				Managed to jag some good weather on the way to Mount Cook Village a couple of weeks back.  Last time i did this trip it was dark and i didn't realise what i had missed.
Here are some scenes from the drive in:

				I like the third. I wonder if trying to get a bit of detail in the shadows on the right, and increasing the contrats of the snowy mountains might improve the image?

				All beautiful shots but the 3rd is pick of the bunch for me. Really need to get back to NZ one of these days.

				Third is my pick, for the right balance of foreground and background interest and nice leading lines with the twisting road in the foreground.

				#3 for me, if only you could banish those pesky shadows. Must have been a morning shot.
One of the great places in all the world to photograph!

				I am going to go against the grain here. I like #2 the best.
Did you use a ND or a C-POL? If you get the chance maybe even try a HDR to get more detail (I think I have fallen in love with the technique, but it weighs on whether or not it keeps working)
