This image was taken recently at Lost Lake, Oregon, on a warm evening. The next day we had rain. I liked how the cloud at the top of the mountain gave the illusion that the volcano was still smoking. The paddle boarder gave a nice sense of scale to the scene.

Kathy, the smoking volcano look is a neat catch. Good job lining up the cloud and the mountain. The gentle light on the shore and slopes of the mountain is nice and the paddle boarder(s) do set the scale well.
Very nice, Kathy, and so appropriate for the theme. I very much like the muted greyish hues and the composition, with the peak off centre and the diagonal sweep of the treetops and the side of the mountain.
A very nice scene with great evening light, Kathy! Nice job with the exposure. The light looks and feels just right. The large version is especially nice as it has much more presence. You can also see that the guy on the paddle board certainly has the easy job!
Kathy: The “smoke” coming out of the mountain is icing on a very fine cake. Beautiful scene and a fine capture.>=))>
