Nice light and a pretty scene. I think I'd prefer a pano crop--the brown lake bottom seems out of key with the other colors. Also, in the large version there is some noise visible in the water that's most likely from jpeg compression. Beautiful country.

Beautiful scene and light Richard. The rocks in the fg seem to me to dominate the scene. I might consider a crop from the bottom to better emphasize the mountains and their reflection. It's a good looking image though regardless.

Beautiful early shot Richard. I'd even vote for more cropping, taking off the sides and bottom to focus on that sweet top center.
