Hi Chris,
You captured some wonderful autumn color with the aspens and I like the transition of the seasons with the snow. I am also enjoying that colorful autumn reflection in the water as well. I think this is one of those scenes where to much information was captured. For my tastes all of the good stuff is towards the center of the frame with the FG evergreens, the reflection and topped off with those beautiful aspens. Have you considered a crop from the right and left sides to emphasize those elements? I hope you do not mind, but here is a rework with what I was thinking. Just my opinion of course as this may not be your vision for this image. I hope to see some more posts as well as your comments on other photographer’s work in the future.
