Red Rock Lake
by Dan Baumbach
Red Rock Lake is part of the Brainard Lake Recreation Area. I went up there to photograph the beautiful water lilies in bloom. I took a couple of large format images but I won't get those for a week. I also shot some digital. Here's one of them that I liked.

I love this reflection and the rocks add a lot to the scene
great work :)
Oooooh, I really like this! The reflection and the pastels of the sky are just beautiful. And composing this the way you did by eliminating what was above the trees really keeps the eye engaged with what's going on with the lake. I like what Rudy said about how the greens along the shoreline really pull the viewer in to the scene - I agree. This is wonderful and your best of recent postings.

This is really nice and I hope you have a similar photo on the 4x5. I think those greens right in the center, with their additional brightness really grab the attention and and move the eyes up into the trees. The wonderful mystery of what is above revealed in the water is fantastic and helps tie the whole image together and keeps the viewer engaged. Well done. My one nit is that it seems to be slightly tilted CW, at least that is what it looks like on the bank but strangely not in the trees.
The thumbnail of this marvelous composition caught my eye immediately. The sky and spires of the firs reflected in the water are just what I would concentrate on if I were to gaze at this scene. The floating vegetation and the light on the rocks and shoreline create visual interest that makes me want to keep studying this inviting scene.
