Just a Reflection on a Summer Day

[Bonnie_Lampley]

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

Just tootling around the aptly named Reflection Lake in Lassen National Park (northern California) on a summer day. The reflections are especially nice when the wind is very light and creates just small ripply textures.

Specific Feedback

Any comments welcome. This is a pretty standard reflection shot, but I like it.

Technical Details

Flipped; cloned out a couple stray bits; not much else.

@Bonnie_Lampley this is a lovely image! I love the painterly quality, the very clear colors, and, needless to say, the composition of the trees/clouds works well.

[Dave_Douglass]

To me, what makes this special is the 180 you put on it creating a neat little mystery. Very nicely done.

[Mark_Seaver]

Definitely “feels” like summer, Bonnie. the ripple rings are fun extras.

[Don_Peters]

I think you captured the place and the mood very well. Good work.

Thanks, @Mark_Seaver, @Dave_Douglass, @Susanna_Euston, and @Don_Peters.
