Close to the Divide
I got this shot this weekend. Me and the kid and his friend went up Saturday. Even though I thought this little lake was such a beautiful spot I had a heck of a time finding anything for foreground interest. This was the one I thought turned out best.

This scene conveys a very tranquil feel. I think your foreground here is great. The sky and reflection are pristine. Beautiful work, Russ!!

Lovely color and reflection. Maybe a touch more work along the ridge at the upper right. Looks like you tried to recover some shadow detail from a grad or blend. It's not far off, but a little different from the rest of the scene.

An understated beauty! I think that the composition is excellent, Russ. Not sure if you could have found a more suitable foreground than this one.
