Bill,
Great capture of a beautiful setting. The water is amazing, both the reflection and being able to see the rocks on the bottom of the pond.

Nice symmetry an the curves are quite appealing. The rocks below the surface definitely create some added interest in the foreground.

A beautifully clear shot Bill. Love the glassy reflection and sharp outline of the mountains. The rocks under the water fill the fg space very nicely.

Bill, I think this is my favorite of your images so far. Everything works together perfectly for me - the subtle first light on the summits, the clear cut reflection, the subsurface details and the curve of the glacier. Fantastic work to my eye.

Unreal clarity Bill. Exudes peacefulness.

This is a great scene well captured. I'm finding the blue a bit unrealistic, especially the tint in the sky. I'm on a calibrated monitor, & I switched to Firefox to make sure I was seeing the color profile as I should. I apologize profusely if I'm off base on the tone as we don't have that color in the mountains in the US. It may be an atmospheric thing.

On the large version, I see just a tad of a hard edge on the mountains that is probably due to sharpening. I hate to be nit picking about this photo, as it is stellar. You've got a great image here!

Beautiful alpine scene! I like both of your image, this one with the perfect reflection, and the previous one with its amazing light.

Beautiful reflection Bill, I like the hint of rocks below the surface of the water.
