  • anthropodeus, on 10/18/2009, -2/+7could we please stop posting "best photos" articles that aren't high-resolution?
  • alpha88, on 10/18/2009, -0/+4Read the description. #1 was taken with a pinhole camera and was hand-coloured, and #3 was taken with a Rollei SL66. This is just good darkroom work, not everything needs to be photoshopped to look amazing.
  • pygmy, on 10/18/2009, -1/+5'Best Thumbnails of 2009 announced'
  • tunafizzle, on 10/18/2009, -2/+6Man I've been waiting six years to see the best mountain photo's of 2009 according to the Banff Centre!

  • chris8535, on 10/18/2009, -1/+4.
  • Karstark, on 10/18/2009, -2/+5I bet that you clicked on the wolf pick, didnt you?
  • bkraj, on 10/18/2009, -2/+4If you've never been the Banff Mountain Film Festival, it's pretty awesome.

    Definitely check it out if you have any interest in extreme sports/etc.
  • ZoaZao, on 10/18/2009, -1/+2Person in the first image on the page looks like E.T. in a rain poncho.

  • getmills, on 10/18/2009, -2/+3So does this mean there's a committee that meets every year to decide the best mountain pictures?
  • RilDaddy, on 10/18/2009, -1/+2I was at Trash Can Falls last year in August and the water there was frigid, about 65 degrees. First reaction of most people after jumping in is a loud yelp followed by a frenzied swim out of the water, back to the rocks, good times... Great pics.
  • hellotyler, on 10/19/2009, -1/+2Very low quality pictures. Would not view again.
  • BrokenAnimator, on 10/18/2009, -1/+2He's the youngest Alpha male wolf in Yellowstone, Agate Creek pack representin... He gets all the breeding opportunities!
  • jeffreyjrose, on 10/18/2009, -1/+2You had me at 'bikini-clad diver'.
  • Vivifyer, on 10/19/2009, -0/+1this is a nice mountain view, fairly high res too

    heh heh .. :D
  • tobymikle, on 10/19/2009, -1/+2why low resolution...
  • furtive, on 10/18/2009, -3/+4The jury consisted of acclaimed outdoor photographer Alec Pytlowany, award-winning photographer Andrew Querner, and photographer/designer/creative director of HighLine Magazine Kristy Davison.

  • Myers3979, on 10/18/2009, -2/+2You're not very good at this whole internet thing
  • mountainmegs, on 10/21/2009, -0/+0You can see winners from years past at http://www.banffmountainfestivals.ca/archives/
  • Slides, on 10/18/2009, -1/+1Didn't know there was a category for best mountain photos of 2009.
  • alpha88, on 10/18/2009, -1/+1Someone say bikini-clad?
  • clickwir, on 10/18/2009, -1/+1wow, honestly I've seen much better. Maybe I just don't understand their theme or something... but those are kinda not that great. And I swear at least 2 of them I've seen several years ago.
  • gordonf238, on 10/18/2009, -2/+1Pinhole or not, the end-product is hardly awe-inspiring (which, to me at least, a #1 should be). You shouldn't have to explain how the photo was taken in order for it to be perceived as great. I stand by my original statement.
  • gordonf238, on 10/18/2009, -2/+1#1 and #3 seem over-processed. The rest, meh.
  • AdamStoner, on 10/18/2009, -3/+2These are quite awesome!
    Dugg! :)
  • zeeshan708, on 10/18/2009, -2/+1Really cool pics. Want some more!!
  • lerkgick, on 10/18/2009, -4/+2"Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
    So you don't confuse them with mountains"

  • FLCProductions, on 10/18/2009, -3/+1So Beautiful!
  • Gnodyknok, on 10/18/2009, -4/+2Meh
  • tkeajax, on 10/18/2009, -4/+2Mountains are lame without Mountain Goats.
  • christoast, on 10/18/2009, -5/+3Who has the authority to officially 'announce' the 'best' photos
  • puerton, on 10/18/2009, -2/+0it's perfect
  • dolemite01, on 10/18/2009, -3/+1Such *****, seriously. The year isn't over yet, theres still three months left. I had plans to climb Mt. Everest in flip flops, not now, *****...
  • awinters, on 10/18/2009, -4/+2More laptop wallpaper crack.
  • inactive, on 10/18/2009, -10/+2Heard Obama won the contest and he didn't even submit any pics, he just looked at them!!
