Ann, this photo is stunning. The balance between reflecting water and mountain scape is lovely, the colours are gorgeous. So fortunute to find such still water flanked by such incredible geography. The only thing I would like to see is the exposure down a notch, though perhaps a levels adjustment in PS would fix this. The moutain face flares out a little too much in my humble opinion. Not sure if you are facing east or west in this shot, but if you get a chance, try getting back there on either dawn or dusk with the first or last vestiges of sunlight catching the mountain face - I would love to see the colours of the rocks brought out by the warmth of twilight.
Beautiful capture.
Cheers, Winston.

Thank you for dropping by Fabiloa. This photo is mother nature's kitchen. Straight out of the camera. No Photoshop work at all. Not even any cropping. It's just a beautiful scene. Everything in this photo was truly that colour. The lighting wasn't even very good but it still made for a nice shot because of all the vivid colours in the scene. All I did was press the button to capture a lovely scene. I even had the camera on automatic. No fun huh?! Thank you for your kind words.
Cheers - Ann :)

another superb photo, Although I feel that if the third rock from the left in the fore ground was completely silhouetted the impact would have been somewhat stronger

It would have been undescribeable to witness this shot in real life, I love how you liked the 'interesting colour' which was your motivation to photograph it. Although the reflective effect could be recreated in PS, the addition of the rocks and boulders (along with their reflections) keeps the shot from looking 'artificial'. Thanks for sharing, all the best for the new year!

Great contrasts and colours - I love the way the reflected water is more saturated than the 'real' stuff...

I guess what I was trying to say before is gone now, OK it was something like that. Yes you are righy Ann, picturing mountains may be a challange and one need to be prepared to compromise perfectness of the picture or its own comfort. You did good here without being soaked in cold waters. I like colors of the rocks - I've seen similar on "artists palete" drive in DV, CA - The great reflection in cool waters of the calm lake and foreground rocks give nice stable layout of the frame. Beautiful one, n.j

Breathtaking view ! Would be indded interesting to see also in fog or cloudy sky, but the strong blue has its own quality. The "dead center" horizon is no issue for me, because of the beautiful reflections. Only wish is a resharpen after resize for upload, since you always lose some sharpness in the jpeg/ downsize process

What a glorious and calm day! Love the still of the reflection! Well captured, Ann, and what a wonderful time you must have sightseeing! Nice blues!
Just so you are aware...you could have stood on the rocks and not got wet...they only appear to be about 2 inches from the edge of the photo and I am sure you could have stepped over that ;-) hee hee!

hi, first off it has a wow! factor impact on the viewer,or at least "this viewer"....the only thing that bothers me is that i don't like cut in the middle images...i love the FG and the blue sky,but the sky is in reflection,so you could afford to lose most of it above the mt.....just my pref and not because of 3rds rule...just not big on symmetry ...i be an asymmetrical kinda gal..LOL..
Clarity and subject matter are amazing...the water looks like a mirror...love the reflections!
Dove dark chocolate is also very good for sickies...;> regards,gayle

Sounds like you had to work hard to get the comp you were satisfied with. And it paid off too. Well snapped!

Oh Kelly I get such a kick out of your humorous comments. I can just envision you standing on your head trying to look at this upside down. Hey maybe if I turn it upside down it would solve all my overexposure problems in the topside mountain. haha.
Thanks for the chuckles.

I love the colors of the reflection and the wonderful details of the mountian. Lovely pattern. I'm actually standing on my head trying to get a better view of it, not too easy at my age. I wonder what this would look like flipped over. Great capture of patterns.

hi therehanks for your comment on my photo.
you have some extremly good scenic pictures on your site.
if i could suggest only a very thing you might like to try.
most of your photos are all dead center in the frame.
if it is a nice sky, use the 2/3s rule. 2/3 of the photo is the nice sky and the other 1/3 the ground.
or if its a great land shoot 2/3s land and 1/3 sky.
like i said it might make your great photos even better.
cheers peter

Wow Ann this is a very very lovely view of this gorgeous place, I agree with your vertical presentation for the reasons you mentioned, sometimes things just don't work the way we'd like them too..Like my orangutan I'd much rather had her facing the light but....anyway gorgeous capture, the blues are beautiful and well balanced, love the reflections too, it's almost a double reflection because of the rocks breaking it up. The top of the mountain being reflected is so well detailed, love it, very well seen and captured!

Nice one!! Super reflection(s), beautiful colors and great composition (with those rocks in the foreground)... well done!!! Too bad that the real mountain (not the reflection of it... that's perfect) is a bit overexposed (to me that is), but in bright sunshine it's often a compromise: get the mountain right and the reflection is too dark and the otherway around.... so you did a good job... ;-D!!!

Beautiful scene, but I don't think the lighting was your friend at this hour. The partial shadows in the foreground rocks are distracting to me and much of the exposed mountainside seems over exposed. Tough exposure, but perhaps the time of day wasn't quite right for softer lighting. This is a great location I hope you get the chance to visit again and get a second shot. Seeing locations such as this make me want to travel more here in state!

Ann, I like the way the rocks seem to be suspended on the surface of the water. It is always interesting to read the background information of the photograph, especially when the photographer describes problems that he/she encountered and the creative process that went into making the shot. I think it adds so much more to the image alone. Thanks for sharing.
