    Whoa, that's some crazy light at sunset! I like the silhouetted foreground and the reflection in the ripples, obviously the light/color/clouds are great.

    Sunsets like this are fairly common at this location. I've spend dozens of nights here over the last 15 years, and you usually have better than a 70% chance of a spectacular sunset each night.

    If only I could live there, I "might" make a half-way decent landscape photographer rolleyes1.gif


    Thanks for taking the time to look and comment thumb.gif

    Thanks Awais,

    Looks like nature was using a big orange paint brush.

    Gorgeous colors, well captured. The first image gives me a lean to the right sort of feel.

    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Lots of angles happening here. I leveled the image with the far shore line.

    I appreciate your input thumb.gif

    Hey Dan,

    I will say that the evening scene looked this vibrant in person. That clean clear mountain air allows vibrant colors to come blazing through. I did bump the saturation a bit on the sunrise shot.

    Appreciate your input.

    Thanks Ben,

    I'd have to look at the exif, but I think these shots were the same day.

    I prefer the composition of the first and the sky of the second. This looks like an awesome place to be.

    These are two great shots. The second is dramatic and striking. I personally prefer the first due to the subtleties of the coloring and the serenity it conveys. And is that a ripple from a fish jumping in the lake?

    Yeah,

    It seems natural to me that the sunrise shot is calm, letting you wake-up gently. The sunset just screams that it doesn't want to go away quietly...

    Oh yes, we caught lots of rainbow trout (nothing personal rainbow) in this pothole thumb.gif

    The perspective is insane.....just the difference you get in color.

    That sunset is UNREAL. Wicked colors. I get Lake Superior sunsets up front and personal each night....but man do I like this one.

    I'm picturing a camp-fire, my guitar and some friends. :D

    I don't have a camp-fire going, but I do have a guitar & I'm sharing these images with friends ~ Close enough thumb.gif
