Beautiful scene! What a peaceful moment in time. Great reflections and I love the understated feel of the image.

This is really nice. I like the abstract created by the reflection and the detials at the waters edge.

WOW!! Marvelous reflection, and the (apparent) repetition of the rock and branch patterns on the surface of the water is great, took me a while to make sure it was not a collage!! The soft light works really well.

A truly beautiful image. The rocks and some of the beaver pond is coming out cyan. I thought it was my monitor but it's also on my iphone. Are you seeing that?
The highlight definition on those trees is marvelous The greens are rich. The composition of the repeating pattern of trees gives this a different and much better composition from the usual reflection. To me this is a great image, except for those blues which should be adjustable.

Hypnotic image, Roel. I also noticed the perhaps oversaturated cyan on the water's edge rocks but that is a minor quibble. The only thing that would make this a better image would be to include a tent on the shoreline

Hi Roel,
This image is just wonderful, and I could stare at it for a good long while. In fact, I did exactly stare at it for a good long while. 
There is a memorizing quality to this image that is one of a kind. Stunning image in my book, but A small nit would be to reduce the blue/cyan hue in the rocks and call this image great.

Roel,
Simply a beautiful scene that you captured perfectly and the mirror like reflection of the trees is amazing. The colors look just fine to me and show the correct tones for late evening, setting sun light on the water IMO.
Well done . . .

The near perfect reflections and how you've accented them with a centered horizon look great, Roel. The contrast in the trees really lets them and their reflections pop. (Looks like there may be a tent hidden in the trees to the left of center. )

WOW!! The large version is incredible! Print this LARGE and hang it proudly. The rocks and lodge seem to be a bit heavy with cyan; I would reduce that a good bit, but otherwise this is really special.

Roel, that is a beautiful image! I love the repetition of the trees above and below the shore, and that light is just sweet. I too agree with the level of cyan in the shore rocks and trees, but that's very minor.
