Gorgeous photo.

Beautiful image, as I expect from you, Jacob! Gorgeous scene, and I love the ethereal atmosphere with the sunlit mist.

Since you've posted here, I'll make an observation I wouldn't on a portfolio, that your wide angle lens has led to some convergence on your trees above the water, detracting somewhat from the calm mood for me. This may sound odd, but it's my subjective reaction, I think because I expect the trees to be vertical. Very unusual to make a technical criticism of your finely-wrought images. Understand if you're a purist, and wouldn't "bend" the trees. I'd be a bit torn myself in your place.

Great work all the same; I always enjoy your creations.

Thank you for another great image. The only thing that catches my eye as "off" is the five-sided snow patch. At first glance my eye is drawn to the bright spot and it makes me think Lens Flare, which after a moment my brain says, "No it isn't". But once seen it can't be unseen. Or rather my my case I can see and accept both. Spot, snow, spot, snow, spot, snow....

Again, thank you!

Very nice! The editing style fits this scene perfectly. I would consider a bit of edge patrol on the foreground tree on the left, but I only noticed that after doing a squint test. Otherwise this is a lovely image. I can't wait to go there myself this Summer (presuming the parks re-open by then).
