The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
This is an early spring view of the Blacktail lakes in Yellowstone. The morning was cool (but not cold) so there was a little mist rising from the lakes. A 3 shot pano, that still doesn’t include all of the lakes.
Specific Feedback
I wanted to capture the long quiet view along the lakes into the distant mountains, with the inviting feeling of the early spring green in the grassy hills alongside the lakes.
Technical Details
R5, 24-105 @ 50 mm, 1/400 s, f/16, iso 800, tripod.

I think this is really beautiful. The only thing I might play with is opening up the shadows a bit on the closest hill on the right side and maybe the one by the tree a little bit further away. Just a bit, to see how that looks.
This is so peaceful. I suspect the farther, larger lake appearing to be running a bit uphill is an effect from the pano, or maybe an optical illusion. It’s still a great view. Thanks for sharing!
Having just been through there last month, this is really nice. The greens were amazing this year in Yellowstone. I think you could even brighten this up a bit more to bring out more of the greens.
Mark I love colors, lights and the serene, peacefull atmosphere that you caught typical of lakes. As I don’t know this nice place I tried to enlarge the lakes thitening the photo and cropping a piece of the empty sky. I also have given more visibily in the darkest shades. I hope that you will approve this that’s only a personal idea. A splendid photo Mark.
