    Nice subtle coloring.

    I think the horizon is too close to the center of the frame
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Do you see the St. Bernard?

    Another nice image of one of my favorite locations. Just curious, when were you there? I'm planning a trip there next fall, and I want to make sure I hit a time with good color. It looks like you have the start of some nice color in the trees in this image.

    I don't really know what to do with the horizon here MB, move to thirds and you have negative space water or sky. What would you do here? Water below, with dark shorline to the right, boring sky above....

    Mike, I am there now. The third week of September seems to be the best time for color here. Jellystone seems to be a little bit ahead of the Tetons, this is the second time I have been here this time of year and there has been good color both times.

    With reflections like that it is hard not to center a horizon. I like the natural Kodak like colors and the soft appeal of it. The mist on the left really adds to the mood. Nice capture.

    Re: Mount Moran

    Beautiful capture! With reflection shots the horizon in the middle is just fine. In a way, the mountain tops are the horizon here and they are places 1/3 down from the top. So really we have 3 layers here. Sky, mountain, water. Nicely done. I think I would like the mountains to stand out a little more (contrast), but maybe not. Either way, it would be a shame not to have a large framed print of this.

    Re: Mount Moran

    I like the soft colors and in this case I think the horizon is just fine.
    Less sky and the mountain would seem cramped. Less lake and the reflection would be cramped.
    Nice image.
    Keep Shooting!
