Misty blue lake
Peyto lake in the Northern Rockies again, one cold and misty morning. Let me know if this composition works for you. Thanks.

It does for me, Marc. The only suggestion I would make is to crop (or clone) along the left edge to retain the two distant trees (silhouetted against the lake) but not the branches sticking into the frame. They take away from the sense of depth in this part of the image. Your ability to capture twilight/dawn colors is just amazing - beautiful image!

Marc, great hues here.....

the open sky is just a tad too bright for my liking.....

also the 2 trees in the foreground compete for my attention

Very dreamy image, I like it quite a bit, but not as much as some of your others from this location.

Very moody scene well captured as usual Marc. Let me know when I can see a big print :cool:

It's not happening for me. I absolytely love the lower 2/3rds of the image. I feel that the path of sky is too bright and it distracts greatly, also, the pale hues up there aren't filled with drama for me either. I think I would really like it if you cropped off the top

Marc,
I really like this. It's not as dramatic as your other images but it has a subtle beauty of its own. I love the way the fog opens up just enough to get a clear view of the lake. Nice work!

Simple, subtle and refined. I like it. I would echo Tom's comment about cropping out those branches on the far left.
