About the Image(s)
Taken with a Nikon Z7 II and Z 24-70mm 2.8f, three HDRs. Used a PS intelligent removal tool to eliminate some grasses and rocks on the edge of the photo. Here is the Time Lapse video: https://youtu.be/2j-aKRTgI-8

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.

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
