Posted this image in E,S&S last night but thought to post here as well. Captured just after Labor Day as the temperatures were beginning to drop. A little too much movement on the surface of the lake...so, not a crystal clear reflection of the Peak but went with what I had. Cropped to a square format, curves adjustments and a bit of dodging and burning. Appreciate your comments.

Just lovely Bishop!!!
I love your eye for composition...
the 3 BIG rocks in the foreground Really act to ground the image!
and hold your eye inside the image with the reflection being the 4th leg of the square
Fun to have the leading lines lead DOWN to the focal point, interesting.....
Very nice!!!
Thanks for sharing....
in gratitude,
Nelcha

I think the blur actually helps this image from being a distraction. the interesting parts for me are the line sweeping through the composition, the two rocks in the foreground and the blue / orange color combination. the peak itself, not so much.
This is a beautiful image. I really love how the patterns interact so well in this. I seem to see a slight halo around the foreground rocks, I really like this as it seems to make those rocks just glow.
Richard -- Hadn't actually considered your point about the blurred reflection but you are right if it was sharp it would detract from the other elements of the image.
Nelcha -- hadn't noticed your location before...we might be neighbors as I am out in Roseville. Good to know there is another NPN'er in the area.
Greg -- will revisit the halo you mention...it may have been the result of extra sharpening for the web.
Thank you Anil and Scott...appreciate your taking the time to comment.

Bishop,
I like the high lighted curve very much - it really pulls this comp together; along with the nicely placed rocks in the foreground. The golden reflection of the mountain peak is wonderful. My only nit is that the contrast/shadows of the rocks is a little heavy. Other than that, this is a wonderful shot.
