John, absolutely a gorgeous image. It is very seldom I look at an image and can't find something to tweak or change but this is one of them. Very striking!!!   Posted: 10/06/2025 12:47:51

Very nice image with the dramatic clouds and their reflection in the smooth water. the mist coming off the lake surface kind of gives it a sense that you are right there in the scene. Well done.   Posted: 10/08/2025 05:39:15

John this is a wonderful landscape and you captured it well. The composition is spot on and the the reflexes help. The only problem I have with this image is that the reflexes are brighter of the scenery. This never happens in nature (is the opposite). So to me this is taking down the image a little. I am sure you can correct this easily.

best

Nice reflection image of the mountain range and foliage. The dark early morning light, along with the mist and the dark clouds give it a very dramatic moody feeling. The side light on the mountains also adds to the drama. The vanishing point in the left third makes the image more interesting. I would have liked to see the mountains be more prominent, either with a longer lens or cropping it a little, but that's just my preference. A beautiful and well captured image.   Posted: 10/16/2025 18:24:55
