Kathy this is very nice. Was this from this past weekend? I was there as well and it was the best autumn I have seen on the east side in a long time.The lighting you have is wonderful and you did a great job here.

I like how the mountain makes this feel very "grand." Maybe a bit of halo around the to of the mountain, but this might be a result of the polarizer, I suppose. I like the brightness in the mountain to see all the textures.

Beautiful scene--i think with a bit of work it would really shine. Ideally a blend/hdr or grad could have been used to tame the urhc, and unfortunately when you hand hold shots that generally aint an option. I would reduce the magenta on the mountain a bit, and boost the yellows--i think you would want the trees to really stand out here (theyre the attraction IMO) and here the color up on the mountain overpowers the cool stuff by the lake.

I like Stan's suggestions. In hind sight, I would have liked more light on the trees as well. But still a nice image.
