The big lake trout in this lake were quite cooperative.

Very nice colors and an excellent job with a difficult exposure. Looks like it needs a CW rotation of about 1-2 degrees.

You caught the perfect light here Chad. Tilt?

I really like the light and comp. A little more processing to bring out the darker textures and balance the light a bit could maybe add to the appeal.

Chad,
I too am really enjoying the light and range of color captured here. Compositionally, I think it's lacking a little. The trees on the right make this pretty heavy on that side and for me the light and reflection just left of those trees is where it's all happening. Looks a little problematic getting down right on the shore, but being able to isolate the light on the far shore, reflections and even the far peaks and sky would have been great. Of course I wasn't there so I'm not sure what the options were.

Thanks guys. Tony-I used you LMs to open up the darks and you were right (of course). It does look better.

Nice light and reflection; I'll echo the other comments about the RHS and the darkness. That said, I think a comp without the trees and dark FG would really highlight the scene. There are some nice colors wanting to be seen...
