    Great photo. I like how you have the horizon close to the top of the photo to avoid having to much blown out sky. I'm not sure if I like the grass in the foreground. It's not annoying but I wonder how the pic would look without it. I like the highlights and shadows in the mountains as well. You picked a good time of day to shoot.

    I kinda like the grass. It makes the picture flow a little more and makes up for the pale looking sky. It also gives it a little depth to me. Great picture.

    I can see that you took a great deal of time and care setting up this shot. The grass is needed to give a sense of depth to the image. I like how you isolated the position of the grass not to interfere with the reflection of the mountains.

    However, I wish there was the same evening light on the grass as there is on the far bank (I know you can't control that). The grass in the shadow feels too cool against the warm colors of the background.

    Thank you for all the comments. I am going to try the shot in sunset in the next few days hopefully with storm clouds, wether permitting.
