"..... The forum is an inspiration everyday. My photos are not near the quality of the competition but I'll start off with this!"

Upside down? Right side up?- I love that Bench Lake photo of yours Mike!
Perhaps because it was one of the first, but it really jumped out at me, and made me want to be there, planning to climb another "Arrow Peak." I think the composition is great, and like SSSdave, I appreciate the realism of the reflection, without the color changes that I am often guilty of.
p.s. "fishmonger," your pics are sublime!

I will throw in a photo of my current favorite subject- kids in the mountains:
