 This is perhaps a bit of a cheat in a way. This is the same little lake I entered last month. I was here again two weeks later, this time for vacation. I do think this is the better shot of the two - better weather (much clearer), different lens (10-22), different light (morning versus evening), leaves had filled on the trees quite a bit, and I shot from a slightly different perspective.

I tonemapped the original then did some small tweaks. Cloned out a dust bunny or two but did no other signifcant isolated work on it. It was a gorgeous morning for taking pictures of an Alpine lake.

I was one of your 10's during voting. This has postcard potential. Love the colors and the clarity. I would love to see this in real life one day.

I didn't vote in this FS, but what a striking picture - love the colours and strong leading lines drawing the eye up to the wonderful mountain.

Congrats on your top 30 finish.

The reflections are so perfect, you could flip it and have to look very hard to tell!

A bit oversaturated in my opinion (particularly in the oranges beneath the tree) . I love the composition though: It has nice strong wedges and great leading lines.
