A frosty morning at Chilliwack Lake.

Edit: I'm wondering if the sky needs some work(saturation,darkening..?).I've tried not to go over the top but maybe I haven't gone quite far enough. Let me know what you think.

Everything fell into place for you on this one Dean.The light , low lying clouds and the reflection with that lead in all work pretty good in my eyes. My only nit really is that down tree which stops the eye from seeing more of the lake but there is nothing you could do about that. Well done. Cheers

Lovely winter scene, Dean. I can see opening up a bit more detail in the FG rock, but it is fine as it is.

Dean,

I don't understand why this hasn't received more comments. I really like it. The down tree doesn't bother me; it's the way the world is. One suggestion I have is to open up the lower right corner and the bottom a bit. There is detail there that would add to the balance of the shot. I like the subtle sky--it's not overdone.

Nice work!

This is much better than the thumb would suggest. I really like the textures and comp and your blending is excellent. I like how the eye sort of discovers the reflection of the peak a little later and then realizing the care with which you set up this image.
