 The alpine lake, Loch Vale. It was very unusual to have becalmed winds in mid morning. This is a natural looking HDR blend of three images. The scene was at least 10 camera stops between blackest shadows and brightest highlights. I used HDR Efex Pro and 0.6 and 0.9 soft grad ND filters.
The Ansel Adams version:

The reflection is amazing. I can't get over how clear that water is too.

A classically composed landscape image. My favorite bit is the sky - the intoxicatingly deep blue sky always blows me away when I am up in CO, NM, etc.

Beautiful! Love all the glorious colors! If you turned this on it's side, it would also make an awesome abstract!
