WOW. This is simply PHENOMENAL. It looks like a mirage.

Very well executed, in the good old cellulose way. Though the grass is a bit underexposed. you may have also tried a 3 stop GND filter also.

All the elements of a great landscape photograph come together here for me and don`t you just love that Velvia film. Wish I had of been there.

Nice composition. Looks a little oversaturated or something in postprocessing though.

The reflections in the lake make this a very interesting photo. When you see other pictures like this they are more blue and greens. Must have been taken late evening or early morning. Shadow of small mountain on the large one. Great picture!

I love the colors, composition and the scene as a whole, but I think the picture isn’t just sharp enough (mountains in the left are soft). The lens you used should have produced a sharp enough image, so maybe you didn’t use a tripod, didn’t focus on the hfd or whatever. The scene is very nice though!

Love the framing with the grass to the lower left - leads the viewer’s eyes straight to the mountain in the center… kudos!
