Peace & Quiet

The good light had past by the time I got here - it was about 11am - but it was such a peaceful place to stop for a while. I boosted the contrast quite a bit and darkened the sky with a gradient filter in PSE. Thanks for looking.

I like this alot Dan, it does have a very peaceful feel to it, I also like the way the ice is broken up along the shore allowing some reflections. Very nice.

This is a very solid photo, Dan. The light is on the harsh side, but the fine composition and excellent scenery more than make up for it. My only critique is that the photo seems a little dull. I think that if you pop the contrast and saturation just a little bit more this would be looking great.

I agree, but maybe just some selective dodging on the snow of that tallest mountain instead of changing the overall contrast.
