Extraordinary light creates a compelling reflection. Just enough detail in the mountains. Cool blue tones are perfect for this scene.
All combining to make a simple, yet powerfully graphic image. I like this one a lot, Zack!

I love the symmetry, balance, and softness rendered of such a grand peak. Great tones in this, awesome shot Zack.

Zack, the light here is stupendous! I don't mind the centering of the mountain! Might consider more sharpening of the mountain to try and bring out more texture even though it was foggy. Wonderful image!

A beautiful shot, Zack. The long exposure has created a soft and ethereal image that generates mystery and intrigue. A little more detail in the mountains would have been nice to explore.

This is a strong comp. I would like to see a bit more details in the mountain, though.

Absolutely wonderful. Quite a capture! One small observation is that the water line dips slightly toward the center of the image . . . having never been to this location, it could simply be the curvature of the distant lakeshore rather than lens distortion, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

The really long exposure has given this a really other worldly look and feeling. The lighter patches of sky add so much to this. It looks great.

Interesting image. The darkness along with the light and cloud streak just makes it work really nice
