Lake St. Clair is Tasmania’s deepest lake, nestled within the Cradle Mountain–Lake St. Clair National Park, part of the Wilderness World Heritage Area. We paddled out across the lake in our kayak, swallowed by a pea-soup mist that refused to lift. By the time we returned to shore, the fog finally cleared and we realised we’d missed Cradle Mountain entirely.

In PS a couple of coloured linear gradients that still look a bit odd to me. Maybe I should stick with one colour? The raw file is pretty much black and white with a giant white hole burning through the middle. I cloned over that.
Wow, such a hauntingly beautiful image! This really resonates with me. I love it’s softness, stillness, the composition, the use of negative space, and the way the reflection has rendered in the gentle ripples of the foreground. Overall I like the idea of emphasizing the balance between warmth in the sky and coolness in the shadows, mist, and reflection. My only critique would be that the blue does feel a touch too pronounced in certain places (the reflection for instance) and it doesn’t blend as smoothly into the warmer tones. I wonder if slight adjustment to the temp of your gradient and/or a localized radial mask could be used to warm/desaturate those slightly while preserving the direction you’ve taken the edit. That said I do really enjoy this.
Wow! (I meant to comment earlier and got sidetracked and just now got back to it.) The slightly unexpected colors fit with the ethereal nature somehow. The reflection is wonderful with the softly disturbed water, the ghost trees are perfect and the shrouded sun casts a perfect light! I love it!!
Glennie, this is wonderfully peaceful. I especially like the ripples and waves in the water. I do wonder about the blue tones in the middle, since that reflection “should” be the same color as the sky above. Part of me thinks a crop from the right would be good, but I’d also hate to lose the waves in the liower right…
