That is some awesome light on the peak and in the sky. Great reflection too. At this size it's hard to appreciate the detail in the pano, a larger size would have been nicer to look at as I am sure this shines really big. Looks like this is your first post, so welcome to NPN.

would love to see a larger version. Great light on the mountain and sky. Nice reflection. Panorama looks nicely processed. What's in the lower right corner-looks like some sort of circular object? Very nice first post.

As Peter and Allen says also I would like to see a larger version. Truly an amazing image, I love it.

Very very cool light. Kinda wish the lake wasnt cut off on the bottom though! Way to be there :)

Nice first post. I like the high perspective. Wonderful light on the peak and nice detail. I'd love to see a wider shot that included all of the lake. Thanks for sharing and welcome to NPN

Amazing shot. I would expect it to be a bit larger though sharpening it a bit maybe ?

Great shot, with terrific lighting. I find pano composition to be challenging and you've done a fine job here with that sloping ridge, the peak's placement, and just the right amount of land to the left of the lake. Welcome to NPN.

Welcome aboard! Beautiful scene, and some great light on the peak. I am curious... In the reflection I don't see any sign of the colorful clouds above? The reflection is great, although that throws me off a bit. The pano, large view of this sight is really amazing. Thanks for sharing, and I'm looking forward to seeing more from you!

Love the composition overall here. A bit confused as to why there is no reflected color anywhere in the water. The gold atop the peak at the very least should be visible in the reflection.

Welcome to NPN Mark. Gorgeous fist post. Look forward to seeing more of you beautiful work. I guess the lack of color in the reflection also puzzles me.

Welcome to NPN Mark. Looking forward to more of this type of work. Very nice light. I would contend that it is a little soft and could use some sharpening for the web.

Yes I would agree with Marc on the reflection. Curious.

Amazing scene. I for one don't won't to see a larger version, as it might cause my head to x-plode! The reflection does seem off but if you took a bit of artistic license on this that's fine with me....

Beautiful color and comp Mark. There's a certain softness to it that is almost blurred. Not sure if that was intentional or not, just seems a little soft to me.

Love the comp and the Pano crop; fantastic job at capturing the light.

Aside from seriously wishing I could see this in much more detail and larger, what a great shot and light!
