I just finished processing a horizontal version of the image I posted the other day. I think this version is stronger, I like it better anyway. I would love to hear your preference. The link to the other version is here

Thanks in advance for your comments.

5DII 17-40L, polarizer, manual blend of 3 exposures

I definitely like the balance of this composition. The light on the treeline and background hill is great as well. The intense blue reflected in the water is nice and hints to some deep, blue sky just out of frame. Nice image.

I like this version better Kurt altought both have their strengths. Color looks fantastic and that is a great reflection.

Just one excellent image all around, Kurt. The balance of light is perfect and the comp is too.

Nice scene. The clouds add a nice dynamic here.

I would have liked to see a little more of the rock in the LHC but beautiful image regardless. Nice work!

My preference is the first shot, but this is superb too Kurt. I love that long line of explosive color.

Like them both Kurt-but this image captures the expansive fall colors better, IMHO. Nice work!

Yeah, I think I like this one better, too. A touch more contrast or luminosity in this one for a little more impact. Still excellent light and color.
