Trevor and I were planning on getting up to Lake Ann for sunset, but after a climb to Ingalls Pass, a certain missing detail of direction was glaringly obvious, and after scrambling 3/4 of a mile along the ridge line, we opted to glissade down to Headlight Basin to feast on the imposing views of Mount Stuart and the surrounding peaks (Stuart is behind me in this one). My 10-20mm is currently in the shop, so I had to squirm around more than usual to find an adequate angle that suited my taste.

This one definitely is better suited to larger sizes.
"certain missing detail of direction" - at first I thought you meant that clouds were missing but this sounds more like the trail was obstructed or something ? It's a very nice lake and mountain but I'd almost consider cropping the top part of the mountain so that the sky is in the water and the top ends with the mountain and trees. The large patch of blue sky isn't helping, imo.
John - We actually ended up going up the wrong trail, nothing was obstructed. All worked out in the end, however, as there are plenty of things to see up there. Can't really go wrong with granite, larches and snowmelt at sunset.
Thanks for the input, I'll try toning down the contrast a tad and reining in the blues a bit.

Love the comp and the reflection. the blue in the sky is a little over the top though for my taste.
