The last two images, one of an orange sky and reflection on the water with Redoubt in between and black both above and below, the other with a similarly composed bluish sky and water with a dark shoreline running horizontally in the middle... are truly fantastic!

I'm not much on "pretty landscapes", and in particular sunrise/sunset images, mostly because they are so utterly boringly easy to do, and 40,000 photographers every day snap a pretty one. On the other hand, that makes coming up with something that distinctly stands out (for example well enough that National Geographic, an outfit that just loves that kind of image, would look at it), is perhaps not just rare but exceedingly rare.

Those two images rise to that level.
