Dream Lake Report
I know that the shot has been done to death, but I didn't really have one I liked yet. Plus I've always thought that things are generally cliche for a reason. :wink:

From this morning. As always, CC welcome.

Looks great! Love the glow.

I never get tired of Hallet Peak. Lots of snow yet, obviously. I might have to work my way up there this week.

This looks pretty good to me!
Bringing out more shadow detail in the trees and a bit of a saturation boost in the alpenglow colors really makes this sing, though. :wink:

I never tire of this scene, and I like your comp. I'll echo John's thoughts about saturation and shadow detail. A few tweaks then print it.

I like the composition, light and reflection. In addition to the above comments, the ridge looks a little "hazy" to me, so maybe a little added contrast there?

Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it. Here's the rework with the suggestions. :wavey: Too much?

Oops, helps to add the pic. :wink:

Great shot. I always like this location.
