Beauiful, Kevin ! I love the tonal range of your conversion - only question is - is it level ? I feel a bit of a lean to the left and I'd expect the lake to be more level than it appears.... I noitce you got the clear sky version of the mountain again..... someday you'll be there with the best clouds ever, I know it !!
Very nice work Kevin. Clearly, the icy lines make the shot. The contrasts work very well in the B&W medium.

thanks for the comments. Yes Curtis, it is digital (20D, 17-40). It's a blend of three different exposures-one main exposure, one to tone down the light on the mountain only, and a third for the trees to lighten them up a bit and bring out some detail. John, I believe it is level. I'd have to compare it to other shots from here to be sure, but I had a bubble level on my hot shoe-without it, I would guarantee you it would lean hard to the left! And yes, I'm still waiting for a nice sky there-but I'm going to keep trying
Unusual view of Reflection Lake. At first I thought it was a view across a creek or river.
Guess the current in the lake, melting the ice, created the s curve. The b&w conversion works well, in my opinion.

Kevin,
You did a good job with the blends to achieve the DR. Along with the nice composition with the s curve in the foreground, I have a feeling this will be printed.
