Such a stunning and brilliantly produced panoramic scenic photograph from your gifted talent as a photographer. I can easily visualize myself rowing in a boat and relishing views of the pristine blue lake, green nature, boulder-like mountains, and the astounding sky.

Lovely cool blue image of Portage lake and the presence of lovely fluffy clouds on an angle.
The water has movement so maybe a bit windy? Always love to see the mountains in the background with snow on them. Nicely composed Pat and thank you for sharing your beautiful place of living.

I like the merging created here, drawing your eye into the photograph and into the mountains in the background. The clouds lovely and puffy and the sky creating a nice colour on the water. It definitely is a beautiful place you live!
Thoughts: a very 'pretty' image, but perhaps needs a focal point that pops to keep your attention on the photo?
Overall, pretty though. :D

Keep creating,
Ann, OpenroadFootprint

A serene looking scene that is well composed. I like the detail in the shore and the very nice reflections on the water. A fine perspective shown in great colors.

a very good capture of this beautiful lake taken during summer, despite the presence of snow at very low altitude; there are only cold colors, blue and green without any war;m one

This is a beautiful view. Two of the blue spots between the clouds look like big birds in flight. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has great depth. I like how the lake lead our eyes to the background. I enjoy the realism of color and light. The reflection are interesting. The landscape is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Such a lovely shot!
I love clouds, those are amazing! The soft ripples on the water with the reflection if the sky is so cool. Just a beautiful scene, and a great capture of the backside!

This is a wonderful shot of nature. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!
