I gave you an 8 on DA and a 9 here; in fact, I thought to myself "oh, man, why do I have to compete against this shot in both places!" :) Now I can add it to my faves here.

Maybe it's just that I've seen lakes that color in the Cascades and elsewhere, so I didn't mark down for it. Silt does amazing things to lake color!

Canadian Rockies? If so, I have been there. Great blues. The sky could stand a little noise reduction, but otherwise very nice.

I like the sweep of the mountains and the interesting textures seen on the rock face in this landscape photo. The inclusion of the foreground ground plane detracts from the appeal of the image because your main focus should remain locked tightly on the beauty of the lake and the mountains in the background. The other element that is a detraction from the visual appeal is the color of the lake itself. It appears unnatural in it's settings. The color is close to that of turquoise/bright aquamarine - not a normal lake color especially since the water would most likely reflect that of the color of the sky if anything. Here it is a flat color that shows no reflection of it's surroundings.
