The pond just below Big Sandy Lake in the Wind River Range. Taken at dusk. I really struggled with the processing on this and tried it several different ways. C&C welcome

Wonderful color! There must be a nice, fat trout in there somewhere.

Pretty little scene, Chad. The comp and presentation look good to me. You oversharpened the trees a bit, but that's an easy fix.

NIce and peaceful! The clouds are an extra nice mood setter. Agree with Stan about the wee bit of over-sharpening.

I don't understand why this hasn't got more comments, Chad. I think it's a beautiful scene. Great sky and a nice reflection. Well done!

Lovely scene Chad. The reflections in the water are very nice.

The reflections on the water make this image pleasing. The lighting is good too and so is your composition. Nice catch!! :)

Chad,
What a lovely, what I call "reflectionscape." What a fantastic sky you were blessed to witness and I think you crafted an excellent scene. The only thing I can think of suggesting would be actually two things. One, crop just a little from the left to remove the encroaching trees - but not too much so you leave enough room for the little tree, which I think works nicely in the comp. The second thing would simply be to apply a very slight bump in contrast with a curves adj layer and a pretty flat "s."
Otherwise, you've got a real beaut here.
