Hi Jim, welcome to the NPN community! Good to have you here.

This is such a tranquil image. Nicely done! For some reason it reminds me of a watercolor painting. Was this an ICM image from the field or in editing? I quite like the results especially in the foreground. The color combination works well too. I don’t really see much that needs changing. This is one image that looks great viewed large.

Thanks so much. I made it in the field using a 3 second exposure while I panned.
