An amazing morning at Convict Lake. I'm printing it shortly... was wondering if any last minute tweaks are needed. Thanks in advance!

Very beautiful, tranquil scene. You had excellent conditions and made the most of them. On my screen this looks perfect as far as the processing goes. Not sure that I'm wild about that little rock "wall" of sorts in the foreground, as it looks like it was put in place by hand at some point in time . . . not a biggie though.

Nice shot! It must have been exciting standing there---with a camera. Looks like you had some fantastic light and clouds.

I love the scene overall Justin. Love the reflection and sky. Detail in the mid ground looks awesome but not sure how that translates to a print file.

Wonderful, Justin. I love the colors and the idea of the rocks in the foreground.

Beautiful winter scene Justin, love the colors and the atmosphere. Love mornings like this, and you got some killer sunrise colors.

The shadows on the fg/mg rocks looks a bit heavy on the web presentation, not sure how they will look in print. Maybe have to open them up just a tad. Hard to judge based of these small web images.

Great capture, thanks for sharing.

The digital version looks great, Justin. However, I can often make better judgements when I see an actual print.

Looks good Justin. I really like the composition of rocks too. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

That glowing light and the details of the snowy mountainsides are outstanding. Fantastic.

Print it! Great sky and color. I took a couple of hikes up Convict Canyon in October and it's one of my favorite places for fall color (and fishing).

Just a wonderful image throughout. Lovely pinks and blues in the sky and I like the reflections from the soft ripples across the water in the fg. Very, very nice, Justin.

Justin,

A beautiful morning indeed! Fabulous color and conditions. Excellent job with the processing too. This is just a wonderful capture from Convict Lake. The only nitty observation I have is that those line of rocks have always made me think of the "hand of man." And I don't say that in reference to NPN or the galleries here, but just in general that it was part of the building of the dam or something. In the end though, it doesn't distract from the enjoyment of this image.
