A great pattern you have in that reflection. I could see some vertical crops on the left half that would put some more emphasize on that reflection. The blue in the sky and in the snow on the mountain seem a bit strong to me.

Dave,
Pretty image of some impressive mountains. Agree with Roel that the blues/cyan are coming through a bit strong. Also seeing what appears to be some chromatic aberration in the trees to the right. That should be easy to remedy.

Dave,

A beautiful scene and excellent rendition from the often photographed Lake Louise. This is angle/perspective I've not seen before.

The impressionistic reflections are the star of the image, but all together, this is still a beautiful image.

I would agree with the other comments about the blue/cyan throughout. Quite strong, especially noticed in the snow on the mountain. Smaller minor nits would be the CA mentioned in the upper limbs of the trees. Also, you might want to go through this at 100% and clone out the dust bunnies.

It would be helpful too if you participated and commented on other members images. Thanks for sharing!

Lon

I really like your unique comp on this location, Dave, and the contributions of the small branches in the FG to lead the eye to the reflection. Agree with others on the overwhelming cyan/blue cast in the sky/snow.

A pleasant scene. For me the saturation is too high and detracts from the image however. Those blues/cyans don't look natural.

Nice image, Dave. I like the framing. I nice impressionistic reflection in the lake. You may need to adjust the white balance to remove som eof the blue tints, as others have commented.

Beautiful image, Dave. Good suggestions have been made on how to make this even better.

Beautiful scene, and the composition and placement of the reflection is excellent. Though as stated previously, the blue is perhaps a bit forward, I find it giving the photo of a scene done many times before, an ethereal feeling and your personal 'touch'. As again, stated earlier there are a few minor details that could be cleaned up a bit, but personally don't find them a great distraction.
Perhaps a slight lightening of the right front to complement that of the trees on the hills,increasing even further the draw the eyes to dark lines in the middle? Just a thought.
All in all though, excellent and very well done.

Nice comp but the blue is too much.
