Japodus: Beautiful image, as always! Are those high vantage points you used in a number of pictures of the lakes easy to get to, or is there an interesting story behind the pictures?

Harsh? I suppose so. Anyone named Harley should be able to take it! :) But it is all just my personal opinion. I like the image. The subject is totally beautiful. The color carries the image, I just think a stronger composition could have carried it further.
So I still stand by my first impression. Wonderful light/color off the cottonwoods, especially the strong angling of the sunlight and shadows through the cottonwood leaves. The image just feels static to me, without the benefit of stability. On one hand it feels like the viewer is too far away and what surrounds the trees is more of a distraction from the main attraction...and on the other hand, that perhaps the viewer is too close and we need more of the surroundings to give this great bit of color and light better grounding in this Place.
I got out a couple pieces of paper and did my usual crop-it-into-a-square thing, and it worked a little better for me, but I had to also take a little off the top. A bit extreme with my cropping and not very helpful. What would I do differently? Don't know. From the same place, it would be tempting to get the modified darkslide and make a 4x10. Or keep to the original format/lens and do a vertical, but one has to be there, and I obviously was not .

scm,
This is a strange, yet compelling image. Well done!
