Hi Bill, a classic and perfect reflection - the symmetrical elements work really well together and I like the blue / yellow interplay from left and right ... great shot!

All the very best for 2017!

Definitely a "Kodak Moment", Bill, with the crystal blue skies and perfect reflection of the snow covered mountains.

Bill,

Wow, what a difference.  Even though this is later and in direct light, I prefer this one quite a bit. The crisp, natural colors, the reflection, symmetry... I love the blue in the sky and it's reflection along with the white and green.  Oh, and then the "glow" of light on the far shore really tops this one off. Even more detail in the snowy peaks that wasn't there previously.  This is excellent!

The only nit/suggestion I have has to deal with shadow area of the snow in the UL. for lack of a better description, I'll call it some cyan haloing.  between the rocky ridge and the snow, there's a little band of cyan (as well as throughout the shaded snow area.) And the cyan isn't present in the reflection.  I think just some localized desat of the cyan would do the trick.  Minor indeed, but thought I would mention.

This is fabulous Bill.  I love the perfect clarity of the reflection and especially that glowing green shoreline (which is even more interesting than the mountains normally featured in an image from this area.  That blue with the lichen greens is so wonderful.

Gorgeous reflection. Love the warmly lit pines along the shoreline. Very minor but I would suggest a slight crop on the left side to eliminate that little nub that's highlighted.

Another classic, Bill. I like the pristine reflection. I also like the dazzling display of trees. Is this another HDR? Doesn't look HDR at all. Well taken and processed.

Very nice take on Lake Louise.  The symmetry really works well here.  Nice saturated colors are not objectionable.   The detail  and the light are just superb.
