Falling for you

Hey guys,

Here's another one from the Matterhorn area. This was taken before sunrise at lake Grindji. The exposure was quite tricky and required a few tries, but now I'm quite happy with it. Thanks for any comments you might have.

What a great shot, Dorin. Everything is well balanced and I love how you added the grass on the right to balance for the reflections on the left. Exposure-handling is spot on as well. The two extra nights before I arrived definitely paied off.

Beautiful shot Dorin. The composition is outstanding. It purveys a very tranquil mood that I like very much. Exposure is perfect. Well done.

It's an eye candy..great shot. I was in the area in the summer, but did not have a chance to go to these alpine places with my 3 yrs old - will have to wait till he grows up a bit

Nice subdued mood--i love it! Id get rid of the vignette, though.

Gorgeous work Dorin. I think you can selectively pump up the saturation a bit on the Earth's shadow. Overall, a stunner for sure...

Beautiful fall colors with a nice frame of the Matterhorn. Also like the grass leading up the right side. Nice work.

Very understated and yet quite beautiful! I like this take on the Matterhorn very much.

Outstanding image, Dorin. The grasses on the right really give some depth and a nice element to a beautiful composition. Well done.

I cannot get enough of this area. Such a beautiful location. In general I would say the image (in relation to post-processing) is a little flatter than it needs to be. A quick mid-tone contrast adjustment would do wonders for this photo helping the yellow trees pop against the lake and sky. Fantastic image, but not yet reaching its full potential.

NIce color and light and the dramatic peak makes for a great subject.
