You have a set of colors that shouldn’t go together but they do, well done.

nice shot indeed with the great reflection however something in the tones is not convincing.

Love the reflections and colors. This looks like an HDR processed photo, as sometimes those colors look different. Well-done.

Thanks for the feedback. I should have been more descriptive about the conditions. This shot was taken in July. The location is roughly 12,200ft and the mountains recieve direct light upon sunrise. The sun wasn’t far from rising so what you see are the clouds getting the first light with some ambient cold light. I did forget to mention that a GND 1 stop filter was used to keep the clouds in check.
