Our summer vacation was more of a stay-cation this year. We drove up to northern Vermont and spent a couple days on this beautiful lake. The first night, we had an amazing sunset.


I captured this with our new P&S. I really wanted to get an entry in with this camera just to do it... Not expecting much, but hopefully in the upper 5s.

Editing steps: Levels, selective colors, hue, saturation, noise ninja, highlight/shadow to bring out the mountain details, crop, resize for web, selective color to increase saturation, save.

Really great score on this one, and well deserved. This is a superb landscape, stripped down to light and shapes(with a small point of interest provided by the boat) that works on every level. The V shapes are strong and funnel the view right down to the water and the boat. I agree with jonfrommk, why vacation if you can stay-cation and visit a place this beautiful. I had it pegged for a Scandinavian location.

Peter...I see this far outstripped your expectations and justly so. I can fully understand why you would have a stay-cation if the scenery around you is as beautiful as this. Given that we see a lot of sunsets over lakes on DPC it takes something very special to make you stop in your tracks....Let me tell you, this IS very special

Glorious composition, colours and reflection. Adding this to my favourites and congratulations on the great score

Looks like a wonderful place to spend time. Even better it was with family.

Beautiful colors, composition and that lone boat is perfect.

Lovely mirror reflection. I like the boat as an added element of interest.

I like the way the mountains and the reflections, lead your eye into the photo.

Impressive in its boldness--both shapes and colors.

The natural framing of this is wonderful. Add in that gorgeous sunset and that surprise boat and this is a contender for the podium.
