Reflections...

This was taken last summer at Reflection Lakes near Mt. Rainier.

I like how you got all the elements into your shot. Very pretty. If only it could be wider too, but I guess you can't have everything. Now that the summer's here, you need to climb it and take a few from the top...

I've got a much better camera this year so I should get better pictures during my excursions. However, I'll NOT be getting any shots from the top. LOL My perspectives will be from the ground!

this might sound dumb...but do you use any filters to enhance the reflection off the lake? I love the picture. great job on capturing it.

Lovely image ladybugamanda...Great saturated colours and I like the deep compostion..Deep landscapes aren't all that common and you have nailed this one..

Thanks Flowremix - No, I didn't use any filters. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I had one! LOL I am a mere amature - following my instincts.

Jurgen - THANK YOU for the compliment. When I took that photo I was still recovering from foot surgery and could hardly get up from a crouched position. I was on my knees - in muck - moving inches to the side to "capture" it. There is another lake that reflects Mt. Rainier quite nicely and I'm bound and determined to get it this year. The trick is to be there when the sun is in the right position and the wind is NOT blowing the water.
