And I think those icy blues will really stand out from the other calendars. Both are beautiful, Patrick.

Many of us forget that Alaska has a beautiful summer season and we need to be reminded. Both shots are great I like #1.

No.1 was a bit busy in foreground, when I cropped some off of bottom it seemed to more closely match the winter scene. But, I'm not the pro, great images you have.

Yet, given the predictable nature of folks thumbing through the plefora of calendar options, I think the other will offer more sales. I rarely see a state, regional, or country calendar using their cover depicting a winter photo. This calendar category always has a fantastic winter scene, but its placement is relegated only for December or January. Unfortunate but true.

I really love the colors in the first one. But in my opinion for an Alaskan calender the second photo would be the way to go. Both photos are beautiful. I really love the colors in the first one.

It works better with the copy and the colors will stand out on a bookshelf or as thumbnails on a website. I like photo #2 better, but for a cover I would choose #1.
