Chocorua - Full Sweep

What are the chances that 2 of my images are back to back?  This panorama from Lake Chocorua is a 10 image stitch at 52mm.  It was taken the same morning as the previous waterfall shot of Tama Falls on my way up to the White Mountains in NH.  It was very, very early as I wanted to get to the falls before it cleared too much from the rain.  The foggy scene looked promising as I was about to pass by, so I decided to stop and was glad I did.  Some of the blue light images are pretty cool too well before sunrise, but this had that classic clearing storm fog and light that just folks on so many levels.  So, if there is a wall out there that needs to be filled, this might do the trick!

D810, 24-120mm, ISO 64, f11

Wish I could see this big enough to really enjoy the detail here, Harry. That sweet morning light with just the right amount of color. Love the lingering fog bank.

A classic reflection scene. The combination of warm colors and cool colors makes this image for me. The greens have just the right amount of cyan for my taste: they stand out yet still look natural. 1/2 - 1/2 horizontal split scenes never bother me. In fact, I'm not sure why the 'rule' against it even exists. Perhaps a perfect 1/2 to 1/2 reflection gets boring because it's fairly common but even then, there are many excellent comps. In any case, the reflection is markedly different than above the water in this case. Nice work. No nits from me.

Beautiful, Harry. Can appreciate it here, but it would be amazing properly lit and stretched on a wall.

This is just so peaceful and magnificent. Yes, I'd like it very large on my wall. The light is perfect and I also like the horizontal ripples in the water. Lovely colors too. Wow!

It's a beautiful dawn panorama, Harry.  I can hear the waves lapping and the loons calling...

I like the expansive view in this scene and the panoramic format accentuates the horizontal lines in the clouds and their reflection.  The light and color is also very beautiful.  Great work!  devil

Harry, this is really nice. Glad you stopped! The side lighting on the peak and mid-ground hills is beautiful, and the panorama works very well. No suggestions from me.
