Gary, you've triggered my symmetry bug once again. The bright areas in the sky and their reflections surround the distant shore and it's reflection perfectly. All three of these look great. In this one, I do wonder how toning down the contrast in the main peak would look, although it fits better once I've spent some time viewing the larger version, as the sharp triangle contrasts with the "fluffy" glows in the clouds.

You saved the best for last, Gary. The symmetry in the scene works beautifully and those white fluffy clouds cap everything off for me. When I opened the large version the lighting on the landscape became more prominent and I still like the hint of the rocks below the surface of the water. Outstanding image.

This is a really striking image. It's certainly the most dramatic of the three. As you say, it's explosive. However, my vote goes for the first one, titled 'Semblance'. It's a more mysterious and more creative image. I liked the submerged rocks. All 3 are great images in my opinion.

The symmetry, the light and butter smooth water are all great, Gary. Reminds me of a Rorschach inkblot if turned sideways. The dynamic motion of the clouds and soft focus reflections make for a fine presentation.

Another beautiful addition to your short series. There is more drama here no doubt but I like how it fits right alongside the other two. A display of all three prints would be quite an exhibit and one that I would really love getting a chance to see.

This is my favorite of the three, and it is not only because of the drama, but I prefer the closer look. It's easier to see the wonderful patterns in the far shore and their reflections. (maybe it's just my poor eyesight but I don't think so!) It must have been a great evening.
