The Bells
Was going thru my external hard drive and came across this from a couple years ago. :biggrin:

Wow, where is this secret location? :biggrin:

Gosh, no matter how many times I see this scene, I never tire of it. Personally, I'd photoshop that person in the yellow shirt out of existence, though. Probably doesn't have any family that would miss him/her.

Is that a long exposure before sunrise? I kinda like the metallic gold looking reflection. Obviously threre's a lot of composition to work with in this view, but I'm thinking a little more zoom to eliminate more sky and the rocks that reside right on your border, or... a bit wider to bring the rocks higher away from the border. Just my 2cents. Also there seems to be a blue cast in your snow.

Great color and light! Love the reflection in the water.

Im with Todd--the Bells are pretty! Neutralize the colorcast and this will be nice.

Classic, with some gorgeous light!
I have to agree with Todd re: 'losing' the person on the right.
I could see keeping him (her?), except for that bright yellow shirt that catcahes my eye.

Really love the blurred reflection and the soft light on the trees and mountains, a classic shot of an icon. Like Todd, I never tire of seeing the Bells, wish I could live at the visitor center.

The colors are wonderful (minus the colorful shirt :biggrin: ) I love the yellows in the reflections. This scene looks different in every shot depending on the time of year it is taken.

I don't get tired of these pics either. That's really nice light on the peaks.

Great light, and a nice symmetrical comp. Yep, lose the person.
