Love the pastels! Nice simple, yet pleasing image. I might take a tiny bit off the top, but that's it... very nice image!

Love that blue and lavender color combination Gary. I agree about a slight crop from the top. Simple and lovely image!

Gary, This is very nice. The pastel colors work so well with the misty mood of this early morning. Nothing I would change. Well done!

Real fine image, with a great dreamy quality. Nice combo of warm and cool tones, too.

Wonderful softness captured here Gary. I'm really enjoying these telephoto images of the misty mountains. Very dreamy and calming.

That will make a very nice print Gary. I agree with many of the others just a thin slice off the top to balance the opposing hues slightly better.

I really like the composition quite a bit - no crop needed IMO. The layering is also very nice. My only nit is that it seems a bit oversaturated perhaps.

Subtle and dreamy - the layers work great here. I would agree with the suggestion of the slight crop off the top, but otherwise a fine shot.
