A very pleasing and peaceful scene. I love that the bank is at an incline to you and that little tree sticking out of the yellow moss anchors the scene nicely.

Timothy,
This is quite nice. That rock shoreline really grabs one's attention - it certainly does even in the thumbnail. I like the subtle graphics and the lines here make for a interesting composition. I also like the hues of colors from the glacial water to the mossy greens on the shore. There is one color though that I would consider tweaking, and that's magenta. It's most notable in the bare trees in the UL and also in the line of rock. I might usually take a hue/sat adjustment layer and back off the magenta about 25 pts or so. But then, that's just my observation and opinion. I think the image is well seen and captured.

You've captured a lovely scene with nice soft light on the sloping banks. The magenta in the shoreline and trees is decidedly unreal.

I like the way the line of dirt/rocks separates the object and the reflection. There are some really wonderful colors in here, though I'm on the laptop, and it's sometimes hard to know for sure how accurate they are.

Much better Tim. I'd even go as far to say that you could push the master saturation up a notch or two while leaving the Magenta behind. Looks much better though from a color point of view. thanks for the repost. I'll edit the title for you indicated a repost, that way folks will know you made a change.

Lovely textures and colours Tim. The second post looks improved with the magenta reduced.

The repost is much, much better Tim. The small, dark alcove in the center just draws me right in, wishing to explore further. Also, love the overall mood in this, a hauntingly beautiful place.

This is nice! I love the range of color you captured and the way it is laid out in the photo, especially in the repost. The diagonal through is very strong too. I really like the far shore, and would play with a 2x3 crop removing some of the bottom. Well done!
