Lake Of The Clouds

This is a beauty, Nick!! Wonderful light and composition. I especially like the reflected light in the lake and how it contrasts with the surrounding landscape. Great perspective here, too.

This is beautiful Nick. I like the whole scene, no nits at all.

Difficult comp and exposure for a single shot, Nick, but you pulled this off beautifully. The contrasting green and orange colors are extraordinary.

Nicely done!!

The exposure looks very natural as does the color. It's a grand vista and you have rendered it beautifully. I'm glad you got such a fine sunrise to bring back to us. The large version is superb!

I really like this, Nick--feels calm and peaceful.

Love the reflection, makes the whole image glow with warmth and de-light. Beautiful.

Nice mood you captured here Nick. It has a real Columbia River Gorge vista feel to it. The larger version really shines!

Fantastic sunrise. The touch of color on the lake is really nice, and the haze in the background adds to the sense of a vast forest expanse. Beautiful work, Nick.

Another one of your pretty scenes Nick, very nice color, light and presentation. Gorgeous work.

Nick,

Wonderful image and grand vista. The landscape is slightly dark, but of course the time of day and light kinda dictate that - plus it all shows much better in the larger version.

The only suggestion I have would be to clone out a few little white things in the LR quadrant; one in the lake, the other in the very far LRC.

Otherwise, great image.

Thanks for your thoughts on this one so far! Glad you enjoy it.
Lon, I see the spots you mentioned and what they are is some highlighted area of the river as it flows out of the lake towards Lake Superior. They are much easier to see in the large version where you might be able to tell what they are, but I can also see where they could be a little distracting and cloning them out might be the way to go. I do see a little bright speck in the lower lake too that I should clone out. As always, thanks much! Nick

wonderful colours and a grand viewpoint... I like the serene mood

Nick: Nicely done. I like the color palette at this classic location in the Porkies.

Nice. The thumb didn't look as promising, but I like the full-size version a lot. The framing of the warm glowing clouds and reflection with the trees and clouds works really well.

Looks like a great place to enjoy the sunrise. Beautiful scene Nick.

You and I are on the same page, I think! Wonderful oranges in the sky cast down onto the water. Nice scene all the way around too.

Gorgeous color Nick. Beautiful reflection and tranquil mood.

Beautiful scene.The larger version is great

I very much appreciated your comments on this. Thank you! Nick

One of of my favorite spots. You did a great job ob capturing it. Nice palette. Also, glad to see you used an GND instead of HDR. The former has a better effect.

Thanks Kris! Sorry I didn't respond sooner. This is one of my favorite places as well. I love watching the sunrise from here. Yes, I use GND filters quite a bit... Thanks, Nick
ps...maybe I will run into you at Lake of the Clouds one day!
