This was small lake that we came across driving on some forest roads.

Great find, this seems like a wonderful, and peaceful spot. Nice dramatic sky as well. My only nit is the 50/50 nature of the image.

Very strong image Tomas. For some reason, I usually prefer 50/50 reflections, but in this case I think you could make a stronger point by cropping just a little sky. Nice control of the exposure range through processing.

Very sweet sky and great processing as usual. My only nit here is that the fg rock is centered. I might have preferred it anchoring the right bottom corner...letting that smaller rock sit more off to the left allowing the eye to zig zag and explore.

Love the stillness of the morning, and the reflection.. :toast:

Nice again, Tomas. Under normal conditions, the sky could be chopped a bit to not lead one's eyes astray from the fg interest; however the sky is compelling enough here to hold the portion of the frame it presently does. The rocks are fine in their current position. The simplicity and artistic qualities of this image make it a perfect candidate for a gallery somewhere.

Would you mind sharing the general location of this area?
