a very nice shot, for the rules contest.
as it seems you have the main lines taken up.
I love the reflection on the lake so calm showing the sky. Great DOF as I look way into the picture.
well done , good luck.
always,
ron

Very nicely focused front to back and excellent exposure, clarity and white balance. Nice use of foreground, middle ground and background. This is very lovely as is, but an additional element of interest (a canoe in the water, a bird coming in for a landing, etc.) would really elevate this.

This is, hands down, one of the greatest nature photographs I have ever seen. Amazing crystal sharp detail. Great focus and dof. Love the colors. Edited and framed to perfection.

Probably you could use this for a text book of beginning photography. The mirrored surface of the lake is your canvas and you have used it well. The surrounding hills and clouds give a almost e3D effect to the shot. Lighting, color and white balance are great.

I am not a big one for rules although I find that I do tend to follow them. This is a beautiful shot by any standard. The definition is excellent and the composition and color is outstanding. Best of luck in the voting.
