Reflection - Trillium Lake
The reflection of Mt. Hood in Trillium Lake shows just a small patch of ice remaining after a long winter's sleep. The brilliance of the reflection is enhanced by the lovely blue of the sky and water. I stopped here on my way home from photographing the sunset and sunrise at Tom McCall Preserve. It is great when you receive a gift of beautiful sky and doubly so when those sky's are reflected in almost still water. And what better for the central subject than Mt. Hood. This is quite likely one of the most photographed locations in the Pacific Northwest but I still love coming here to see what mother nature has in store.

Canon 5D MKII, TSE24mm, 1/80 sec at f/11, ISO 100
Two exposure blend

Beautiful shot Phil! The ice complements the mt reflection very well, as does the sky. I love how all the lines lead the eye into the mountain.

Wonderful shot! Nice and balanced with a lot of eye-pleasing elements coming together just right.
