Pete's Lake Sunrise

Wonderful! That light in the misty sky is spectacular!

Lovely misty light.

Nice. Those foreground shadows add so much.

Lovely conditions Nick! The fog and the the light transforms the scene into something magical.

Wonderful atmosphere with the light and fog, Nick.

Nicely done. The fog adds a lot of mystery to this...quiet and peaceful scene.

Another very fine capture from you, Nick, I love mist and your image explains the reason why very well. Light is gorgeous and those small logs emerging from the water add a lot of interest to the fg. I think I would clone off that stripe of land as it detracts a bit in my opinion from the delightful dreamy quality of this photograph (see attach).

EDIT: please disregard the colours if for some reason you see them different from your original (as I do). Actually I didn't touch them, I probably only forgot to implement the sRGB profile when saving the file.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Hearing comments and suggestions from photographers you really respect means alot. As always, thanks!
Paolo, yes that looks better to me. I think it has a little nicer balance too. That was part of a submerged log showing. I wasn't sure I could take that out and make it look ok, so left it alone. My PS skills need much improvement Thanks, Nick

Beautiful msty scene with gorgeous colors. I like the re post too.

Looks like a gorgeous sunrise - wish I was there. Just beautiful Nick.

Hi Nick,

Fabulous job at controlling the dynamic range of the image. The soft color palette is extremely nice. Overall, I'd say this is my favorite of all the images you have posted so far on NPN of your recent trip. There's a lot to like here: colors, balance, conditions, scenery, etc. I think Paolo's idea of cloning out the log on the left is a good one, although I don't think it makes or breaks the picture either way. Very solid work here my friend. Just lovely!

Wonderful light and pastel color Nick. I really like the tranquil mood the light and color create.

Nice soft light and such a peaceful enery this image evokes. I can see merit in cloning the log on the left but I would still like your image with it in the scene.

What a special sunrise! The mists are just magical. I'm going against the grain and going to say that I actually would like the image more without those logs.. they draw my eyes away from the sunrise.

Beautiful scene Nick, starting to regret not coming up there and shooting with you... Looks like an incredible morning, must have been amazing to be a part of. Great work.

Nice image Nick, wonderful color and lighting and the fog adds a great moody touch to the scene. Well done.

Ton o' mood! Great capture.

Wonderfully moody image, I love it! I have no suggestion except for agreeing with the clone suggestion.

I thought those fg sticks were ducks from the thumb
This is just super cool, Nick!

This so reminds me of Hayden Valley with the Yellowstone river in Yellowstone National Park. What a lovely shot this is Nick. I can feel the coolness and the humidity hitting my face as I view your image. A place of solitude and reflection. Just beautiful.

Wonderful moody atmosphere NIck. I too love the silhouettes in the fg.
Nice job

Thanks to all of you for all the nice comments and thoughts on this picture. It is very nice being part of such a helpful group. I can't get over all the wonderful pictures being posted here just this week. Quite a group of photographers. Thanks all! Nick
