Real nice, Mark. I am really enjoying the colors, patterns and depth to the image. Fascinating transition from the harsh steamy waters to the forested mountains.

Nice overall scene, Mark. The foreground patterns and coloring are great. Would love to see some of the abstracts of the same.

This is really nice, Mark! The patterns, colors and textures look great and especially when viewing the larger version. The background hills of snow and pines is quite the contrast with the foreground. Very nice work!

Beautiful work, Mark. I love those parallel squigglies in the foreground and how the waves overlay them. This may be a good place to shoot early morning. I like this very much.

Really nice. Lots and lots of fg interest. Looks like a place to photograph again and again.

That is one amazing FG, Mark. Really lots to enjoy front to back in this scene. I can see why you are drawn to this area as it looks like you could spend several hours just working that FG. Beautiful work.

Mark, I'm liking the interesting key part of the photo with all the FG patterns there. But, I also really like the larger view and the main peak in the center of the image. The trees up there are really well defined and really holds some strong interest in the very distant BG area. Some neat contrasting colors between the warm color up front and the distant trees and snow in the BG.......

I love the foreground, leading into the midpoint with the steam - then you've got those nice green trees and the contrast of the snow on the hill at the back, I really like it
The only slight niggle I can see, is that I *think* there's what looks like a slight halo around the trees on the hill where the shadows have been pushed a bit, where the trees touch the sky, I'm being technically picky though :)

My favorite, for sure, Mark! The colors compliment each other throughout the scene. The texture and patterns of the runoff is leading my eye into the scene to the wonderful reflections, and then the mountain with the greenery and snow to the beautiful blue sky. If it were my photo, and I were to try to improve this photo, and it would be very hard to do, I think I would try to lighten the left corner of the sky from the effect of the polarizing filter. I just read everyone else's comments, and no one else mentioned that, so maybe I am wrong. Even without that change, this is calendar material, my opinion.
