    Wonderful depth to this shot. The softened sky colors are reflected by the wandering river, which pulls the viewer into the scene, around the bend, and up to the peak! Very artistic–impressionistic–wonderful feeling………….

  3. ChrisB ChrisB Says:

    Agree to the person above.
    the depth is well done here.
    a very beautiful shot! ^_^

  6. Anurag Anurag Says:

    The dense clouds at the bottom of the peak are soo.. well, DENSE. Very surreal, almost unrealistic. specially if you look how the trees stand out in front of them on the right side.

    Great Shot.

    What a sight It would have been in person!!

  7. Malta Photography Malta Photography Says:

    Nice shot overall but I am sensing that it is too bright and the reflection on the lake might need some more contrast to burst out. I would have given some more warmth to the upper part to extract some more yellow/orangish color of the sun.

  8. Teresa Teixeira Says:

    This is an amazing photograph! Love the light and the reflections on the water! Full of atmosphere!

  9. Ariel Ariel Says:

    Oooh, I love the layered wisps of clouds over the mountain. The clouds totally make this photo.

  10. planet lover Says:

    Richard this is a great shot. Sometimes I wonder how much would I enjoy to have a job like that instead of sitting in the office all day long :) .

    Location is excellent, and this photograph you took is wonderful!

    Lovely! So inviting! Just about the way it would be in Alberta,Canada, if there was no super intensive tar sand exploitation in an area the size of Florida. Congratulation Richard. Nothing
    like one on the lookout for beauty, it benefits us all by adding a layer of balm to the soul.

  16. Renee Renee Says:
