Great vista! The sweeping view down to the lake is grand. The bright sky steals from the better part of the show though, you might work on darkening it some to keep the eye from wandering there.

Very nice mood and composition Chet, the large view is a must, you can almost see all the moisture in the air, I like this alot. Well done.

Very nice POV and comp Chet. I agree with John about darkening the sky if possible. Beautiful scene as is though. Great job.

Grand vista. wonderful fg detail but the sky is a distraction. Love the clouds rising off the far ridge.

Chet, A beautiful view you found. I like the fog in the background mountains a lot. I do wish the sky wasn't so bright.

I like the view in your comp, Chet. If you have Photoshop CS 5 or 6 there should be a graduated neutral density filter you can use to darken the upper part. CS6 has one in Raw that is adjustable and works great.

A grand view for sure, Chet. My only suggestion would be to tone down the sky if possible.
