That is the National Park of Aiguestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici in Catalonia, Spain. Here, we have hundreds of lakes scattered between glacier valleys, cirques and sharp peaks with curious shapes.
I hope you like it

A wonderful scene Joana with very nice light and a very nice composition. Very nice.

Beautiful! I like the sun rise on the mountains, the reflection of the trees and just the whole image.

Looks like an incredible area just to wander into! IMO, i'd tone down the reflection a bit, but that may just be me... Nice comp.

Wow - I have to go there.

I like your composition, and how the sun lights up a part of the mountain range. I think the farther away mountains are a bit too blue, but that may just have been the way it was with that light.

I like this a lot, Joana. It reminds me of some areas of the Sierra in CA. I do think the reflection is too bright: The trees there are lighter than the ones they reflect. The blue of the distant mountains could be reduced just a bit, but that's minor. Other than those two small items, this works nicely for me.

I agree with Preston's suggestions Joana. Minor stuff, but this image is worth tweaking to get it just right. The sidelighting gives this a very Maxfield Parrish like feel to it which is very appealing.

One more thing I concur with Preston about...this looks very Sierra like. When I viewed the thumbnail, I thought this was California rather than Spain for a second before I read the title!

Looks like an alpine wonderland, much like the Sierras in the US. Considering the strong lighting, the FG looks too bright and washed out. I would darken the FG and reflection - more in keeping with the tallest tree in the middle. That would really highlight the distant peaks which look pretty amazing. A lovely place and you have portrayed it well. With some slight adjustments, I think it could be even better.

Wow, what a lovely view! I particularly enjoy the reflections of the mid ground trees.
