This was taken a few weeks back when I was at RMNP. An early morning sunrise of Notchtop. C&C welcome.

Looks nice, Koveh. A touch too much contrast for my tastes, but good comp!

Really nice composition and light, Koveh. Contrast looks perfect to me. Great image!

Everything about this one is good!
I especially like how the rocks don't impede upon any of the reflected mountain and trees.

I tend to agree with Stan's review on this one. Very nice comp, but a bit too contrasty on my monitor. Also, I find the peak being darker than the base and sunlit trees a little unrealistic for my taste given no clouds in the visible sky.

I like this one a lot. It seems to be a bit tilted to the right (CW), but it's not a big deal. Thanks for posting.

Thanks everyone for the comments and feedback.
Joe, Notchtop is about an hour to hour and half hike up from Bear Lake towards Flattop.

Nice composition. Really like the rocks in the foreground and the overall exposure. One of the better shots I've seen of Notchtop.

I like your comp. The contrast does appear a bit strong to my eye, but that's just personal taste. Nice job.

The contrast seems fine to me. My only critique is that I think the reflection looks a bit crammed against the foreground rocks... I'd prefer a little more "breathing room" in there. But regardless it's still a sweet shot.

Thanks Jack. I got the same suggestion from Erik S, but unfortunately my tripod would not go any higher, so it was either lose some foreground elements or scrunch the reflection a bit. I will work on the composition though, the next time I have the opportunity to shoot reflections. I appreciate the feedback..you have some amazing photos!
