Doing a little dreaming of summer today. Here is a shot from a 2 day shuttle hike that David Kingham and I did this past July. We were camped just about 200 yds from this spot and this was our nearest water supply. Looking forward to some more backpacking trips this coming year.

Really nice comp Randy. Did you get any closeups of the reflections at the far side of the lake? I'm a sucker for those...
Thanks Scott, no I had a 17-40mm on camera and didn't change lens for that time frame

Is it summer yet?
Nice composition. The light on the peaks and reflection seems a little bright to me. Could just be my monitor though. Wonder what an increase in saturation of the warm tones might add to this image too. Greens and blues are already pretty strong.
Thanks Josh. Summer fever usually hits me about January or February, but this year it's early. I will take your comments into consideration

A really fine composition, and I agree with Joshua. Subtly darkening the sunlit areas of the mountain and the skies (along with their reflection) would be a real asset here.

What Joshua and John said were my first thought for suggestions. Blue Lakes and Ice lake Basin may be next year's vacation destination. We just had our first snow in AZ, but summer shots like this are always a nice sight.
