Pink Symphony + Repost

Wetterhorn and Schreckhorn reflected in the Bachsee, Switzerland

Thanks for the comments on my previous post. Many people suggested a squere crop, or a horizontal frame. I took a lot of pictures during the sunset some vertical some horizontal. This one is ca. 15 minutes before the other one. The light and the colors changed very fast, so I have many versions.
Actually I prefer the other one's colors. This pink is a bit strong for me.

I hope you like it.

Shantikara, Yes, the pink is a bit strong for my taste too, but some things are "Pretty in Pink" and this really is quite beautiful! I'm just thinking about the feel of paddling down through there in a canoe or kayak.

That would be pretty awesome. Very nice!

A fine presentation, perhaps you could tame some of the pinks by double, or even triple processing the raw file. Just a thought. Your composition works very well for me.

I changed a bit the color balance, from magenta to green. Maybe it's better.

I think the horizontal works really well for this. Pedaling back on the magenta works nicely.

Wonderful color in this, and the light allows it all to come through. Very well done.
