Taken Mid Sept.......as an original slide.....so no specs.......was looking at this one and something has always puzzled me about it......why did I get wonderful color in the sky clouds and mountain and even the reflection of the mountain............but not the cloud reflections.. It still baffles me to this day. I definitely used a grad and probably an enhancer (not 100% sure on this).......or maybe even a polariser........don't think any of these would have an effect on that.......my only other guess......it was the silt/particles floating in the water....that give this lake a turquoise color.....that affected it??
Any guesses or ideas welcomed!

This is a great one Roman. No idea on the muted reflections. I think it is improved with a crop just below the right reflected peaks though. I understand the foreground to anchor, but don't think it adds in this case. I love saturated colors, but might ease off a touch here too, mainly the blues in the sky.

Hi
Liked the light and colors so much ! the contrast between cool and warm colors are wonderful .. the reflection is also a big plus! ..But i prefer more details on the clouds and also on the snowy mountain ! All in all it's a great capture...

Roman,

Some small tweaks that would have strengthen the image include moving left of right to get the cloud reflection and the stump separate and desaturate the reds some. I like the blues (blue is my favorite color so I am bias). Now I might be tempted to clone out the stump.
