Here is another shot from the other day out at Spray Lakes. No filters, just levels and curves and a tiny bit of darkening of the sky. I have a couple shots from that morning to share once I get to them. Thanks for looking!

I really like the mood and composition with the tree and rocks leading you to the mountain in the background. Well seen and well done.

Nice! The touch of snow and thick atmosphere feel just right with the blues here. I really enjoy the subtlety of the peak through the mist, which enhances the depth, mystery and peaceful solitude.

I really like the moody feeling that you've captured here and the simple but strong composition. Looks like the kind of morning where you can see your breath, but the chill feels invigorating.

Love the log and the sense of chill. I think a version with the just the log, the rocks, and the water would be super nice, too.

The composition really "grabs" you, literally too, Wayne! It has the potential for even more impact in B&W.

Fantastic mood! Love the misty blues and seeing the rocks throught the foreground water. I think it is really cool when you can capture the mood of a place as you did here! Very nice Wayne.

I love everything about this. The foreground is so strong and interesting, and perfectly complements the softer background. Very well done!

The mood of this one is great and I like the simple comp, vignette is a tad strong but not overwhelming, sure does help make that peak stand out, nicely seen.
