I captured this image three years back, and was seeing tonight how LR3 works in processing some images from my 20D. I've cropped top and bottom to go with the pano orientation.
I'm no landscape photographer but here's my take: I like the early morning warmth of the image. Exposure looks great- there are no areas that are too dark or washed out. I like the reflection, but would prefer to see the entire reflection of the scene (the tops of the tallest trees are cut off on the water.)
Hi John, You had a beautiful morning and captured it well. I was there once and couldn't even see the mountains due to so much fog. The light is beautiful and I feel the pano crop works very well. I'm not troubled by the cut trees but would like to see the image without them cut in order for me say which I would prefer. Pleasing image!
I agree on the light and the pano works good. As far as the cut tree in the reflection. I would have preferred to at least see the tall one in the middle not cut.
Hey John,
Oh man.....you crushed this one!!! I love this presentation!!! I know this area very well....so I am going with this recommendation for comparison......more sky if you have it as it is so nice!!! This is about as good as this view gets!!!
Amazing light and beautiful place. Ditto about seen the tree in the middle not being cut. I also prefer a larger version to judge the image better but this one is exceptional.
