This is beautiful! Once again you are making me jealous with all the beautiful places you have gone!
The peak on the top left edge being right up against the edge of the frame is bothering me slightly. Did you crop this at all? If so, could you add in a tiny bit more sky so the peak was not right at the edge of the frame.
Ed, beautiful image of a wondrous place. I love the touch of sun on the peaks. I suspect that left tree was quite tall, so you may have had no choice but to cut it off.
This needs a slight CCW rotation to staighten that main pine and the left margin tree.
I like the blues of the lake too. The blu-ish mountains and distant trees may be a bit more satruated (from global blue saturation) than they really were - but I like that too.
Very sweet image!
Ed, this one doesn’t work as well for me as some of your other shots of this area. The composition emphasizes the lake and its surroundings. My eye, though, is drawn to the sunlit peak in the top right. It seems almost like a distracting afterthought in a photo that was primarily about something else. That’s just me, though.
Thank you @elizabeth, I really appreciate your comments.
Unfortunately this was the full frame up and down at the largest setting (24mm) that I had. I also rotated the image to try to correct the level as pointed out by @SandyR-B which is still just a tad shy of level. I guess I could probably generate some more canvas on top. @Don_Peters thanks for your feedback, I was trying to capture the first light on the top while still keeping the rest of the grand scene. I can see how the touch of light may distract from the overall image of the lake.
