Another Lone Eagle
Thanks to those who commented and gave great advice on the shot I posted on the ESS gallery. I really do appreciate the critique and feedback, regardless of how realistic. Here is another shot from last weekend in the same location, but a little earlier. Thanks for viewing!

uhh.. wow. Seriously. I'd darken the reflection just a scoche, and then congratulate myself for getting there and capturing this scene. A few minor nits with the impact from the GND, but very minor relative to the overall quality of the image. Nice work.

Another excellent comp and the light on the peaks is fantastic. Great stuff!

Nice shot. Your reflection looks brighter than the reflected landscape. I think it will look more natural if it's a couple stops darker. Great location!

Sweet! Another "I wish I'd taken that" photo.

Beautiful scene Koveh! Love the light at the tipof the peaks. I do agree with Kalin about the reflection light being a touch brighter.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I will darken the reflection just a tad and I think this one is going off to the print labs. =)

nIce! I like the composition in how the sunlit ridge and its reflection narrow to lead to the peak. On my monitor, the sky right along the left edge of the peak looks slightly lighter in color.

I think I like this better than the ESS post. Beautiful location and a beautiful image!
