Please excuse the window grime and strange artifacts I got on some of these shots but I had to share the view. One one word comes to mind in describing it - Amazing!!!

WW - these are beautiful shots of a wonderous place - my only suggestion would be a tad more contrast on most of them :wink:

Hey Willy, got some nice shots there mate, i too would put up with the lil bits of crap with them shots for sure. well done and yes i too notice when you shoot throught glass a lil bit of contrast helps so take the sigma bosses advice and maybe try a bit of a few see how they come out, but yeh great pics.

Great shots willy. I know how difficult it is to get good shots out the window so I take my hat off to you. I would agree with Chris in saying they need a little contrast boost.

Other than that, excellent.

Great work considering what you were shooting through, these are just awe inspiring mountain ranges, I'll join the bandwagon and agree a little extra contrast would help finish of these shots.

great images.. especially considering where they were taken. I agree completely with Chris... all need some contrast to give them a little pop.

Thanks for all the great responses to this thread guys and gals. I took your suggestions on board. I bumped the contrast in this image - do you think it helps.

WW - A big improvement, well worth the fiddle I feel! Imagine if we had our resident helicopter pilots fly out over those... that would make some excellent photography.
