Wow, Dave, what a morning you had. I love the sweep of the bank positioned perfectly in the frame. Processing looks spot on. Can't say I like this one better than your last, but equally impressive.

That sweeping curve of the bank draws me into the image beautifully, Dave. I also like the warmth of the scene along with the reflection. Everything looks awesome to me.

Fine imaging, Dave. That was probably the best light of the day.

Really sweet light and just a beautiful place. I agree with all the other comments. Just one nit the bare dirt on the left of the screen is a bit of an eye magnet.

Another real nice image, but I think I am preferring the first version Moonset. Not that a choice is needed.....

This is a nice addition to your mountain lake images, Dave. My only suggestion as an option would be to pan slightly right to get the FG rock farther from the corner of the frame.

Hi Dave,

I like the flow in this image very much with the sweeping line in the foreground leading into the mountain backdrop. Wow, the glowing color in this image is so gorgeous bro. What an experience and some truly wonderful work in photography!!!

Another beauty. I think I prefer the last one, the bare grass taking up a lot of foreground real estate on the left is not as compelling as the other composition.
