Beautiful high country scene. It is a personal preference, but I might throw in a vibrance layer and give it a healthy boost. It would give everything just a bit more "glow". The cloud gods were with you and you took nice advantage.

This is a lovely scene, Dave. I can easily imagine sitting in a back country camp and enjoying the scene. I think the subtlety of the colors adds to the sense of peace.

Nice to see you back, Dave! Ah, the Sierra High Country--no place like it. I like the subtle color and the soft light, but a boost in vibrance would be interesting to see. I like the curves of the tarn and snowfield, and the clouds look great. Looks to be an old lateral moraine above the snowfield.
Just curious, but where is this?

Dave,
What a gorgeous view; this brings me there and makes me wish I was there. I think you did a great job with the processing, color, saturation,etc., although if you did boost the vibrance a smidge, I'd say the same thing. ;-) Beautiful as is.
Some times I get overly picky and perhaps this is one of those times. My only teenie wish for this would be the inclusion of the entire shore along the left; the good news though is that the lighter part of the reflection isn't merging with the frame edge... so never mind.
Wonderful high Sierra landscape image.
Lon

Nice to see another from you Dave! This is flat out lovely. You caught some lovely color with a wide and sweeping view; very enjoyable to look at.

Agree with the comments already made. Just a gorgeous, peaceful high country scene. Makes me wish I could go there, but since I can't, this will more than compensate. I like this as is, but would also experiment with more "punch."

Dave, This is really nice! It is a wonderful view and I like the comp you came up with very much. Nice clouds and the 6 stop ND really helped with the reflections by smoothing out the water. I have been using one a fair amount lately but usually have to focus first because I can't see the image good enough to manual focus with it on. Picked up the 5D4 and head out to the U.P. to give it a workout this coming Thursday for a week or so. Might end up wishing I had gone with the 5DSr so we'll see. It was a tough decision for me... Nick
