Beautiful image from one of my favorite areas, Daniel. Terrific reflection. Nicely captured.

The greens are pretty strong but they work really well with those reds. I like the upper part of the image considerably more than the reflection. I would suggest a crop that results in a square format of the upper 2/3rd of image.

Nice work, Daniel.  I really like the darkness in the foreground water and the drama in the clouds.  They push the eye back toward the rock face and spring-green leaves.  Very nicely done.

A lovely image Daniel. The green looks striking and contrasts well with the rest of the scene. I also like how the clouds have turned out. The highlights in them especially look very lovely.

I feel that this presentation would have benefited from a less dark background. Just my humble opinion of course.

Regards,

Daniel, I like this alot! Nice work with the comp and I sure enjoy how the light brought out the color in the leaves against the rock background. The clouds also add an extra nice touch!

The vivid fresh green and sunlit orange of the rock is attractive.  My preference would be to brighten the shadows some.

Beautiful image. The shadows look fine to me. I might back off the green saturation just a bit (but I know how brilliant the greens can be during the Utah spring). Real nice, Daniel.

Lovely luminescent quality to the light and gorgeous colors. The reflection is also wonderful.
