CRATER LAKE National Park
Crater Lake in central Oregon, USA. There are so many commenters that nailed this location, I'm so proud of you. Because that means there must have been a lot of people who visited this awesome national park. I've seen a lot of them and I must admit this is one of my favorites.
The color is stunning. Awesome US national park and the bluest water you've ever seen in the US. This is a lake formed because of the collapse of a volcano, the lake is fed only by rain and snow (no spring or ground water).
Out of the camera photo: taken with a point and shoot.

Can't wait to visit again.

What an amazing place - and your photo really makes me want to visit! The colours are so rich, and there is a sense of depth to the image.

Gorgeous, Jeanne! You certainly did it justice - and looks to have been a great place to visit. I need to add it to my list.

If you've never driven the Crater Lake rim at sunset, it is an experience not to be missed. This has some of the bluest waters I've ever seen.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1120 images, I gave 98 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 98, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.

I love the sheen to the water, and the mountains look clear anc crisp. I'd personally prefer a slightly lower vantage point allowing the trees in the lower left more prominence, and a but more sky, but nonetheless this is a great photo.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lovely blue water, out of the box composition as most people can't resist including all of crater lake in the frame.

Nice shot, focus seems on the trees in the foreground which is a bit early in the shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good shot. I like the colors and crop angle.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 08:07:23 AM
seems like you had alot of bright sunlight to work with here. its really washed out your background mountains, and the sky even looks too pale. perhaps a morning shot would have been a better idea for the location

03/15/2009 07:59:26 AM
The water looks silky smooth but the composition is rather bland.
