    Great shot of a great lake. I love that place. As far as a nit pick I'd say I could use a bit of sharpening but that might be from the resize too. Maybe a bit blue for trying to show off the red rock but I think the color works..

    Amazing capture. A little 'cool' but nevertheless a great scene. I'm also a sucker for blue ;-)

    Since his isn't the critique forum, I can only agree on the awesomeness of the scene.
    mostly Nikon gear

    Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.

    Great image - a little dark and blue in places, but otherwise nice image. It almost looks like it was done using an HDR process. Was it done this way, or did you do some considerable editing in Photoshop or Lightroom? Just curious, but I am always interested in the technical aspects of how images are produced - did you shoot raw or jpeg? I look forward to more of your images.

    Regards,

    WesternGuy

    hi guys,

    the shot was taken with a canon eos 450d and a hitech ND-gratuated filter. the RAW was developed with lightroom

    That is intense! Your first post is phenomenal! It's like the sky is rushing towards you, gives it the appearance of movement. And that deep blue sky is gorgeous! I would LOVE to frame and hang that on my wall or put it on my ceiling and see it every morning and night hehe Both very awesome photos.
