Light, shadows, reflections..it's all there. I like the soft pastel color of the mountain. Where was this taken?

Jack, this is one of the Alta Lakes south of Telluride.

And a rare one for the Cloudman. Cool perspective.

I really like the fact that you're not smacking me in the face with alpenglow. EXCELLENT comp. Nails that "serenity" aspect others have noted.

You just lowered my blood pressure 10 points! :biggrin:
Serenity is the word of the day for this one. :toast: Lovely color and light. I could look at this one for a very long time.

A unique and really pleasing composition. I expect no less from you. :wink:
I like this one a lot!

Not what i expected--but pretty!
Call me weird, but i prefer this cropped for the top 2/3. The alpenglow is so widely spaced that i feel like my eyes are being peeled like a banana, up top and way down below. I prefer the gradual color gradient of the top section.

Todd, I like the pattern of the trees. The image has a nice flow. Nice work.

Really nice scene, Todd, and the comp works well. It looks a tad flat to me - I would consider just a slight S curve adjustment in Curves.
