Very nice composition and subject. I only suggest to lift the shadows a little - looks a bit dark on my screen.

Lovely scene and great reflection. I do agree that it appears a bit dark. I might try to crop a bit off the bottom, up closer to the blooms of the flowers. It would put the focus on the mountains and reflection more. Maybe that is just personal preference.

I agree with the above 2 suggestions Daniel. Otherwise, very nice. I love the color palette here.

Was this just taken recently? I guess I gotta get up there!

This is an awesome comp of Shuksan and Picture lake, Daniel. But its too dark, and the blue shadows in the snowfields up top look a bit odd to me. If you got a good range of exposures, im guessing you could rework this to make it really shine.

Thanks for the comments. Here's a version brightened up and cropped down a bit.

Very pretty scene Daniel. I could see lightening the flower on the left and increasing the brightness in the sky. Overall, I think this is a beautiful shot.

Beautiful, Daniel! I've seen something like this before from that area but never
any more lovely than this. Great colors and strong from FG to BG. I have no
suggestions for changes.

Pretty nice Daniel. The composition seems a bit cramped to me, but I'm sure you did what you could with the scene...
