After a clear blue evening a few clouds drifted by in the fading twilight on Red Creek in the Dolly Sods wilderness of West Virginia.

Great lines, reflections, and colors, especially thos killer orange bolts.

I wonder if you could have backed up a bit to get that whole rock into the fg, along with even more of the reflection.

Robert,

A quiet and lovely scene. What great color and reflection. Of course we weren't there, but I'm wondering like Lance what might have been below the rock that prevented you from including more of the reflection. I'm sure there must have been something. I think maybe, you could crop about 1/2 the sky and emphasize the symmetry of the scene even more. Trees on the right are already cut off at the top so cropping more of them wouldn't hurt. Still, a lovely image.

Very nice. The strong cloud element really makes this one.

I'm not a big fan of the cut-off rock but the rest is good.

This looks like a great place. I really like the reflections here. I could see having the rest of the rock, if possible, but still this is very nice.
